Turning Point Scotland are truly sorry to hear of the passing of the Minister of Alcohol and other Drugs Christina McKelvie.

We recognise and appreciate Christina’s dedication to our sector and her interest in Turning Point Scotland’s harm reduction and recovery focused services.

Patricia Tracey, Head of Alcohol and other Drugs says, “Christina was passionate and supportive of all of our services with particular interest in our South Lanarkshire Outreach Services which supports people in her Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse constituency. Christina was committed to her role and the current state of drug related harms and deaths.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Keith and all of Christina’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.”
