To ask the Scottish Government on how many occasions (a) nitazenes and (b) other synthetic opioids were discovered in Scotland in each of the last five years.
The Scottish Government does not hold data relating to seizures of nitazenes and other synthetic opioids. This data is held by Police Scotland.
The Scottish Government supports the activity by Police Scotland and other partners on the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce to remove illicit drugs from our communities and reduce the harm they cause.
