THE number of Scots dying from drugs while homeless has been branded a "travesty" after an official report exposed the scale of the housing emergency.
The National Records of Scotland (NRS) estimated 100 people without a place to live suffered a drugs-related death in 2023, up from 89 the previous year.
The figures showed an estimated 242 deaths among homeless people in 2023 almost unchanged from the figure of 244 the previous year.
Labour housing spokesman Mark Griffin slammed the Scottish Government for failing to get to grips with the country's housing emergency.
