Health and Social Care Committee - The United Kingdom has some of the highest drug death rates in Europe, particularly in Scotland.

It recommends a radical change in approach to UK drugs policy, moving from the current criminal justice approach to a health approach, with responsibility for drugs policy moving from the Home Office to the Department of Health and Social Care.ReportPress release
