Commissioning support products
We are pleased to publish here the latest adult drug and alcohol commissioning support packs. They have been provided as a resource to assist with local needs assessments, service planning and recommissioning as well as a useful summary of activity over the last decade, where shown. They use data from NDTMS as well as other data sources such as hospital admissions and prevalence to provide a picture of problematic drug and alcohol use in each local authority. The main areas covered in the NDTMS data are patient profiles and demographics, housing, employment, health, families and outcomes. Further breakdowns of adults in treatment, adults starting treatment and exiting treatment (including those that leave treatment successfully and those that die in treatment) for 2021-22 will be available on ViewIt (https://www.ndtms.net/ViewIt/Adult) along with trend data back to 2009-10 by Monday 30th January 2023. If you have any questions on these packs please contact evidenceapplicationteam@dhsc.gov.uk.
Information disclosure controls apply to the NDTMS data contained in these reports. Please refer to the Information disclosure guidelines section at the end of each report.
