- Response
Please see the table below detailing the total number of incidents Scotland-wide where naloxone has been noted from 01/01/2022 - 31/12/2025.
This information has been provided in two tables as a new clinical system is being phased in. This phased system has been in place since June 24 and involves only portion of Scotland. There is the possibility that that an incident from the Terrapace 3 system could be counted in the Terrapace 2 system and therefore the figures in the table should NOT be added together.
