• Improve delivery arrangements such as streamlining single shared assessment, expansion of community pharmacy supplementary prescribing and adoption of quality standards.
• Develop services so they can address the mental health and wellbeing needs of service users.
• Promote co-location of services and staff where appropriate and promote closer working with services working with families and children.
• Develop opportunities for access to services to be improved by joint working between substance misuse services and prison and police services.
• Oversee service clinical governance arrangements to evaluate the quality and safety of services.
• Ensure all services adhere to 'Getting it Right for Every Child' principles.
• Supports the recovery movement and learning how to develop services to so that they are supporting people who have problems with alcohol and other drug towards their personal journey of recovery.  We understand that recovery is not just about the individual, but also about communities.  "Recovery.  Linking Addiction Treatment & Communities of Recovery: A primer for addiction Counselors and Recovery coaches.  William White, et al."
