POLITICAL leaders appear to have “forgotten Scotland’s drugs death crisis” campaigners claimed today as they published a report calling for changes to be made in treatment services.

The group Favor — Faces And Voices Of Recovery — claimed there was still a “postcode lottery” in terms of treatment for drug users, with referrals to residential rehabilitation centres branded “inconsistent.”

It published its report a year after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross carried out a rare joint visit to a community group in Glasgow set up to try to help addicts.
