An 11-year-old girl from Glasgow has been treated in hospital for the effects of smoking heroin after she collapsed at school.

The girl, who has not been named, fell ill at a primary school on Wednesday. She is now said to be recovering.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said the girl was admitted to hospital “on an emergency basis with what appeared to be heroin intoxication”.

Strathclyde police and social services have launched an investigation.

A city council spokesman said on Saturday night: “We are monitoring the situation and the ongoing case discussion will continue on Monday.”

Authorities were alerted when the girl appeared to fall asleep in the classroom.

NHS Greater Glasgow said it could not comment on individual cases.
