Local authorities in England are responsible for commissioning drug treatment services, including whether to commission HAT services within its resources for drug treatment funding. The Government supports areas which pursue HAT, where the relevant licences are obtained from the Home Office and in 2021, the former Public Health England provided additional guidance on commissioning and developing a HAT service.</p><p>The 10-year drug strategy is supported by £780 million, including £532 million for local authorities to invest in treatment and recovery services, in addition to the Public Health Grant. This allows local authorities to determine which interventions will complement existing treatments. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities provides oversight of local delivery and monitors implementation against the aims of the drug strategy.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 08/11/2022 17:24:04 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
