Public health chiefs have claimed a big improvement in the implementation of drug treatment reforms that were branded a “disaster” a year ago.
The controversial Medication Assisted Treatment Standards are two years behind schedule but are now being adhered to more closely by all Alcohol and Drug partnerships in Scotland.
Bosses of ADPs were warned by then drugs minister Angela Constance 12 months ago that their jobs were at threat if they failed to ensure the rights-based reforms were not offered to anyone asking for treatment for addiction.
But the update announced yesterday by Public Health Scotland reflected progress, with the first five of ten MAT Standards being implemented in 66 per cent of Scotland’s 29 ADPs.
Last year the figure was a miserable 17 per cent and political opponents yesterday claimed that today’s situation represents a scarcely better performance.

Naman Ramachandran Charlie Brooker, creator of hit Netflix series “Black Mirror,” has weighed in again on the debate around AI. Earlier this month, Brooker had revealed to Empire magazine that he went full “Black Mirror” by asking the artificial intelligence chatbot known as ChatGPT to write an episode of his beloved anthology series. The final results were “shit,” according to Brooker. On Friday, Brooker was asked by Sky News if U.K. politicians were doing enough about AI. In response, Brooker joked: “If Rishi Sunak had been replaced by AI, I probably wouldn’t have noticed. Actually, he’d be a good character to pop up like, you know the paper clip that used to pop up in Microsoft Word? I’d like a little Rishi Sunak that pops up and goes, ‘It looks like you’re writing about how depressing the government is – would you like some help with that’?'”
