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 At least one drug has been reported in the illicit drug profile.
- (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.
