1  All figures in this table exclude penal establishment inmates and information received from needle exchanges.
2  Individuals are included once within each NHS board area and council area. Therefore the sum of local area data may not equal the Scotland figure.
3  The total drugs reported is greater than the number of new individuals reporting illicit drug use because individuals may have reported use of more than one drug.
4  An illicit drug is any drug that has not been prescribed for the user.  This includes illegal drugs, volatile substances, inappropriate use of over the counter medicines and alcohol.
5  Orkney, Shetland and Western Isles NHS boards.
6  Eilean Siar, Orkney and Shetland councils.
7  At least one drug has been reported in the illicit drug profile.
