Public Health Commissioning Intentions

(Services offering specialist clinical treatment and behaviour change approach to tackling drug and alcohol use across Norfolk, and broader work with system partners to increase success of our interventions and lessen the impact of addiction on our communities)

• Complete an assurance review of our current core drug and alcohol treatment provision, in line with the Provider Selection Regime, to inform our future commissioning intentions.
• Build on the work to date of the Norfolk Drug and Alcohol Partnership, to inform local policy and practice in line with the National Commissioning Quality Standards; and From Harm to Hope (10-year National Drug Strategy 2021). Implement and embed the Norfolk lived experience/Experts by Experience service, to ensure the voices of service users, parents, carers and friends are fully embedded within the Norfolk drug and alcohol treatment system.
• Continue to jointly lead with the ICB the LTP Joint Forward Plan Priority for Dual Diagnosis to deliver on Year-2 objectives, including the implementation of a dual diagnosis pathway.
