I am a Journalist student at the University of Lincoln and I am producing a story and infographic. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible.
1. I would like to access information regarding the number of cases of drug misuse within Lincolnshire. This data must be within the last 10 years (1/1/2011- 31/12/2020).
2. I would like the information broken down into the different ages of those involved and the different years in which they happened.

1. The data provided below is only for those people who were in receipt of interventions through substance misuse treatment services. This is not a representation of all substance misuse in Lincolnshire as not all those with substance misuse issues will be in treatment.
