Could I get the number of 999 calls for suspected drug overdoses in the City of Edinburgh with a break down of post code over the last five years
- Response
Please see the attached sheet that details information for all emergency calls recorded between 1 January 2020 and 31 March 2026.
The data relates to incidents that have been categorised as Overdose at the time of the initial call, within the City of Edinburgh Council area, broken down by postcode district.
It should be noted that the data could include incidents where a crew subsequently attended and the clinical assessment may have result in a different categorisation (for example, mental health or chest pain).
Small numbers between zero and five have been suppressed and shown as “<5” to reduce the risk of identification of individuals, in accordance with our disclosure control policy and data protection obligations.
