A report from the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry revealed significant variations among Scottish health boards in new medication prescriptions. NHS Western Isles recorded 1,086.54 on its measure, ahead of Greater Glasgow and Clyde on 392.97, while Shetland was lowest on 100.31. The report's authors warn that small island populations can skew the figures, and the data doesn't separate diabetes from weight loss prescriptions.
