Consultation process
The Health and Social Care Act (2012) outlined new statutory
responsibilities to local authorities (LA) for the health of their
populations. From the 1st April 2013 City of York Council assumed
key responsibilities across the three domains of public health
– health improvement, health protection and healthcare. Some
elements of the treatment of problematic alcohol and drug users at
this time became the responsibility of City of York Council. In
York this responsibility is managed within the public health team
governed by the Director of Public Health. The key elements of
responsibility are set out in the government’s alcohol and
drug strategies and within the statutory responsibilities of the
public health provision within local authorities. Some elements of
the provision of alcohol and illicit drug treatment are statutory,
alongside the required outcome set out in PHOF2.15. This requires
local authorities to report on their achievement of providing
services which enable customers to sustain abstinence from
substance misuse post treatment..
The service provision of alcohol and illicit drug treatment is
subject to regular consultation in a variety of ways. For the
purposes of re-commissioning the following has taken place:
1. A time limited alcohol and Illicit drugs commission steering
group formulated. This includes key partners and provides a forum
for ongoing consultation leading up to procurement.
2. Service recipients and their families have been given
opportunities to formally engage with the PH commissioning
group.
3. Previous service recipients have been consulted in a series of
forum events across the year.
4. Clinical practitioners have been engaged through the CCG
5. Partners and co-commissioners such as the OPCC and CCG have been
formally engaged in a series of meetings to explore opportunities
and thoughts on the format for re-commissioning.
6. Industry experts were consulted formally to assess the potential
model for re-commissioning
7. Academic specialists were consulted and key academic research
was searched to inform thinking.
8. Academic evaluation took place to inform the evaluation of the
current models and to highlight areas of improvement.
