Key policy drivers
• Localism
• Transparency and accountability
• Public health and health inequalities•Recovery
• Payment by results
2010 drug strategy: ‘…all services are commissioned with the following best practice outcomes in mind’
• Freedom from dependence on drugs or alcohol;
• Prevention of drug related deaths and blood borne viruses;
• A reduction in crime and re-offending;
• Sustained employment;
• The ability to access and sustain suitable accommodation;
• Improvement in mental and physical health and wellbeing;
• Improved relationships with family members, partners and friends; and
• The capacity to be an effective and caring parent.

Recovery, integration and sense of place
This shift will provide a platform for
a more integrated approach to improving public health outcomes. This approach addresses the root causes and wider determinants of drug dependence and alcohol misuse, and the harm and impact they have on communities and troubled families (such as mental health, employment, education, crime and housing). It also delivers the greatest gains for individuals and the community. (NTA/DH 2012)
Context: Suite of evidence-based clinical guidance
• In total there are 15 NICE drug and alcohol publications
• Q1 13/14 NICE commitment to reflect all these in in LA PH briefing.
The evidence ...
... is good that OST:Retains people in treatmentSuppresses illicit use of heroin Reduces crimeReduces the risk of BBV Reduces risk of death.
... is less persuasive that OST:Suppresses other drug useImproves physical and mental health Improves social reintegration of marginalised heroin users Promotes abstinence from all drugs.

Timely access to substance misuse treatment is one way of reducing health inequalities across many public health indicators; it
Slide 19
(1) Supports Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) vision:
To improve and protect the nation’s health and wellbeing, and improve the health of the poorest fastest.
(2) Impacts directly on both of the PHOF outcomes:
• Outcome 1: Increased life expectancy
• Outcome 2: Reduced differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities
(3) Contributes to many of the outcome indicators.
Substance misuse treatment contributes to over half of the PHOF outcome indicators.

Budgets
13/14 and 14/15 Budgets released on Friday
• £2.66 billion and £2.79 billion to LAs to spend on public health services for their local populations. Average growth of 5.5% in 2013-14 and 5.0% in 2014-15
• ‘Currently, on average, about one third of spending is connected to mandated services, leaving a significant opportunity to commission services that meet the needs of your population. Services not currently covered by the mandating regulations include obesity, smoking cessation and substance misuse.’
• Mandated services: sexual health services; duty to ensure there are plans in place to protect the health of the population; public health advice to NHS commissioners; National Child Measurement Programme; NHS Health Check.
The Public Health Grant
• Local authorities will need to forecast and report against the sub-categories of spend in returns to Public Health England who will review them on behalf of the Department of Health.
• ‘Pace of change’ to a target budget position (12/13 PTB formula will affect target position within pace of change parameters)
• Substance misuse component includes: PTB; DH DIP; YP; local drug and alcohol spend
• Prison treatment to NHS Commissioning Board
• HO DIP funding (£35M) to Police and Crime Comissioners
