I echo the best wishes that have been expressed to Christina McKelvie for successful treatment.

I welcome the cabinet secretary’s visit to the Skylark IX Recovery Trust, as it does great work in my constituency. However, last year’s figure of 1,277 alcohol deaths is the highest number in the past 15 years, and it is a tragedy for each of the families affected. It is clear that what we are doing currently, for both drugs and alcohol, is not yet working. There is a suggestion that the Government’s priority is tackling drugs, and that that is eclipsing the efforts and resources that are needed to tackle alcohol problems.

Those of us with long memories will recall the SNP’s cuts to alcohol and drug treatment services. Some £46 million was sliced out of the budget before the national mission was in place, and now we learn that there has been a 40 per cent decline in the number of people being referred to structured alcohol services.

Will the cabinet secretary separate the alcohol and drugs funding streams so that there is transparency? If he is looking to raise revenue, what consideration has been given to a targeted levy to claw back the money that supermarkets will make from the increased revenue from minimum unit pricing for alcohol?
