SCOTTISH Secretary lan Murray has urged the SNP government to "get on" with cutting the number of drug deaths.
The Labour Cabinet minister said everyone has a role to play in tackling the tragedy but believes the buck stops with the SNP because health is devolved to Holyrood.

Figures showed an increase of 121 deaths from 2022 to 1172 last year.
