Yes Scotland's heroin disaster can be directly traced back to the families worst affected by Thatcher's economic reforms in the 80's, much as with the ex-industrial cities in the US that fell into ruin/drugs/crime for the same reasons. A shift over to "Big City" / financial market economics (that turned out to be a big ol ponzy scheme that's now starting to fall apart).
As for hospitals, as awful as they admittedly are, they're still better than most NHS England hospitals, and half of the services in NHS England hospitals aren't even run by NHS England any more ... but a scattershot of private entities funded by the NHS via outsourcing.
