Its really simple, Alcohol and other drugs related death across the UK is deeply worrying with the leading cause of deaths for people aged 20-49 being due to addiction and mental ill health.
Sadly, there are 70 alcohol-related deaths & at least 17 Drug related deaths in the UK every day. This has a devastating impact on the families and friends left behind. We must continue to drive down addiction deaths, by advocating for investment & access to treatment for all, eradicate stigma and ensure that high quality person-centred services that treat everyone with dignity and respect are the norm.

Since my election I have fought and campaigned for our families to be supported and our loved ones to be able access treatment . Barrier after barrier may be in front of us but I intend to keep breaking those barriers down .
Working in healthcare within the criminal justice system, I am fully committed and support the 5 point pledges.
As a candidate in this election and previous terms in office I witnessed the funding cuts in the last 5 years in addiction services which has had dire consequences for many families in Scotland.
