Approval has been given to commence
procurement for the provision of e-vouchers for e-cigarettes and
associated products to help people in North Yorkshire to quit
smoking through the Living Well Smokefree service.
Following the procurement process, the selected company will
provide access to e-cigarettes and associated products via a
voucher scheme to individuals who choose to adopt this method of
quitting. Access to the voucher will only be through the Living
Well Smokefree Service. This will contribute to work towards the
Smokefree Generation targets for North Yorkshire, thereby
addressing health inequalities and improving population
health.
In accordance with Officers' Delegation Scheme, the decision has
been delegated to Dr Victoria Turner, Public Health Consultant on
behalf of Director of Public Health, in consultation with Executive
Member for Health and Adult Services.
