Drugs-related deaths in Ayrshire have fallen to their lowest level in seven years after decreasing by almost a quarter in 2024.

Having peaked in 2019 at 108 deaths, the figures for the county have steadily decreased over the last four years roughly inline with national statistics.
The Scottish Government have welcomed the decrease but have Drugs and Alcohol Policy Minister Maree Todd said “there is still work to be done”.
Both East and North Ayrshire saw decreases in the number of drugs-related deaths but the figures for South Ayrshire increased for the second year running.
