Locally Commissioned Public Health Services

Commissioning principles • The Council is committed to

promote fairness and transparency and is seeking to work with you as valued providers to continue to commission services from you in 2015/16

• EHC services - no changes for 2015/16 are expected

• Needle and Syringe Exchange and Supervised Consumption services expire in September 2014

• Smoking Cessation and NRT Voucher Schemes expire in March 2016

• As part of the Local Authority's ‘Redefining your Council’s’ plan all Sexual Health Services are currently being reviewed

The new providers to deliver services are as follows:

• Adult substance misuse recovery services across Nottinghamshire; Crime Reduction Initiative (CRI)
