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 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 Individuals may report more than one ‘other’ drug.
- (zero); 0 (>0.0 & <0.5)
z Not shown where the number of new clients < 40 and the number of clients using a specified drug < 5. Caution is advised in interpreting differences in percentages across years due to small numbers.
