"...which is having a detrimental effect on their mental health"

Dundee’s drug problem has grown massively over the past decade. The east side of the city Whitfield, Fintry, Douglas and so forth are the most deprived areas in Dundee. But what makes Dundee stand out more on the scale? And why do we have one of the highest drug problem. My beliefs is there has been cuts made everywhere across the board, £22 million had to be saved this financial year 2019-2020 in Dundee. Services have been overflowing with patients due to staff shortages, reduced working hours and more importantly transferring people onto Universal Credit.

Since this benefit has been rolled out across Scotland in October 2017, food banks have seen a huge increase on users both unemployed and employed which is having a detrimental effect on their mental health.
