Substance Misuse Strategic Review

Hampshire DAAT is leading on a Strategic Review of Substance Misuse Services in Hampshire. The review has been prompted by a significant reduction in drugs funding over the next 3 years, the need to rationalize and consolidate the current commissioning arrangements and provide a robust commissioning strategy for both drugs and alcohol.

Aims of the Strategic Review

The Strategic Review will provide a unified and coherent analysis of all drug and alcohol services delivered in Hampshire, taking account of evidence of met and unmet need.   The outcome will be a Development Plan (the commissioning strategy) which will shape the future provision of substance misuse services ensuring that;

  • the statutory agencies are commissioning the best possible configuration of services within the available budget.

  • provision within the overall treatment system meets the needs of the local population.

  • service delivery provides a positive and effective contribution to the treatment agenda and meets relevant targets.

  • all services will be effectively contracted and performance monitored.
