I never doubted you would

Good work from you @graeme2030.bsky.social. You are a talented researcher so mentoring is easy. The three of us with @hadidf.bsky.social have been a good wee team and hopefully more collaboration to come.

What can i say ?- the pain of journal submission - still hate it.

In truth, not yet, but my point was not so much about effectiveness but an acknowledgement of the hard work being put in by our harm reduction and treatment services.
Evaluation is still underway, but we do know Scotland is very different from the US.

Movement in the right direction at least. It is the harm reduction and increased / improved treatment access that is driving this reduction. Better surveillance bring joined up to responsive services are working better and responded quickly to synthetic options and xylazine threat.

Yes! Couldn't agree more. I've had project delays which compromised the science because of such contractual delays.

So far this has been a much better and more positive place.

Oops I mean Misuse of Drugs Act of course.

Your comprehensive and very readable review was such important evidence. I hope our joint bid to revise the MoD was noted by the committee.

2/2 the importance of treatment services having sufficient resource to provide sufficient wrap around services.
