1 All figures in this table exclude penal establishment inmates and information received from needle exchanges.
2 The total drugs reported is greater than the number of new individual patients/clients because individuals may have reported use of more than one drug. Therefore percentages may add up to more than 100%.
3 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.
4 As a result of the migration rules which have been applied to migrate SMR22 & SMR23 data onto the SMR24 database, the numbers reporting illicit use of drugs which can be prescribed are likely to be an underestimate, for the year 2000/01.
5 At least one drug has been reported in the illicit drug profile.
