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.
