To ask the Scottish Government whether it met its November 2021 commitment to ensure that, by 2026, at least 1,000 people each year are publicly funded to go to residential rehabilitation.
Answer
In Public Health Scotland's report published on 09 December 2025 they state that 998 Scottish residents started a residential rehabilitation placement in 2023-24 and that "... the data submissions suggest that the Scottish Government has already come close to meeting, and possibly has already met, its 2026 target in financial year 2024-25 (at least 993 individuals)." We look forward to the publication of the statistics for 2025-26.
