Approval has been given to accept recurring funding in the amount of £642,891 (defined as a grant which has been applied for previously with no substantial change to delivery of the grant for 2025/26). This funding has been identified to invest in local stop smoking services over a 5-year period starting 2024-25.

We are about to enter the second of five planned years of additional investment of £70million across England. Funding per Local Authority area has been calculated based on local smoking prevalence – with £642k being identified for North Yorkshire Council for 2025/26.

This decision has been taken in consultation with the Executive Member for Health and Adult Services and the Executive Member for Finance.
