The Director of Public Health is asked to
approve the new substance use services operating model that will be
implemented from 1 April 2026.
Approval has been given for the new substance
use service operating model, that will be implemented from 1 April
2026, including associated procurements.
The substance use services transformation
programme has involved a wide range of council directorates,
partners, and people with lived and living experience between 2023
- 2025. Transformation principles opportunities, benefits and risks
have been thoroughly tested. The proposed model delivers an
opportunity to build on the learning from the last decade, as well
as learning associated with the additional grant funding,
development and delivery of the local strategy, and mobilisation of
associated governance.
All options have been robustly explored and
tested against the transformation principles and wider
transformation opportunities.
