Information Requested

The number of times that naloxone was administered by the Scottish Ambulance Service in Glasgow in the calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. 

Response

Point to note – This is a count of cases where the crew used the Naloxone (Narcan) drug button on the patient report forms. This count will not include cases where Naloxone was administered by bystanders or from the patient’s own supply. There may also be multiple doses within each incident either for the same patient or other patients at the same incident. 

 

Please see the table below detailing the total counts held by the Scottish Ambulance Service where naloxone was administered.  This information captures counts from 01/01/2022 – 31/12/2025 in the council area of Glasgow. 

 

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.
