Approval to Award a Contract for the ' East Lancashire Recovery Orientated Adult Substance Misuse Treatment Service'
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing
Decision status: Recommendations approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Purpose:
Drug and alcohol misuse are key determinants
of health inequalities and levels of crime. The Government
estimates that the social and economic cost of Class A drugs is
£15 billion and of alcohol misuse, £20 billion per
annum. Reducing levels of drug and alcohol misuse will improve
health outcomes and reduce offending behavior; one of the key
components of the response to the problem being the commissioning
of effective treatment services.
Decision:
County Councillor Tony Martin, the Cabinet Member for Adult and Community Services and County Councillor Azhar Ali, the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing approved the recommendation as set out in the full report.

The report contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
