Commissioning support packs

We have made some improvements to the drug commissioning support packs following user feedback. We have added instructions to enable users to download the report and use offline (in your web browser use “Save page as” with file type “Web Page, complete”). We have also made improvements to the layout throughout the report including fixing a mislabelling in the criminal justice pathways offence type section (table 8.10.2 in the drugs pack).

Changes to NDTMS.Net secure area

There has been a number of positive changes made to the NDTMS.Net secure area. From today, you can access a larger number of periodic NDTMS reports produced by OHID from the newly titled “NDTMS reports” page. There is an improved menu screen making navigation easier. The NDTMS reporting timetable is also now more accessible, visible in the main banner alongside the NDTMS reports page. The timetable will be updated before the end of March with release dates for reports covering the 2022-23 reporting period. The criminal justice single point of contact (SPOC) directory is also now available from the secure area. The SPOC is a key tool in supporting the continuity of care objective within the Drug and Alcohol treatment sector as detailed in the Government’s new UK 10 Year Drug Strategy . We believe this directory will support and help develop enhanced criminal justice pathways into treatment and achieve improved health and crime reduction outcomes. The SPOC is also available on the main banner at the top of the page.
