3. RECOMMENDATIONS 
3.1 The IJB is asked to:

that requires approval by the IJB. This is due to be submitted via the ADP by 27th

additional investment;

supports and governance is in place to deliver the National Mission priorities and
The Partnership Delivery Framework objectives. 
4. VARIATIONS TO DIRECTIONS? 
Yes ☐ No ☐ N/A ☒ 
5. BACKGROUND/SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES
5.1 The NLADP Strategic Lead has been working closely with key partners through
the five ADP sub-groups (below) to develop key actions and support in
keeping with national evidence, regional scoping work and learning from
commissioned services including the voices of lived experience. The ADP
sub-groups oversee and support decision making on local investments linked
to delivering on the National Mission priorities. 
1. Prevention, Early Intervention, & Education
2. Treatment, Care & Recovery
3. Whole Family Approach
4. Public Health Approach to Justice
5. Reducing Alcohol Harms Group

5.2 All thirty of Scotland ADPs are responsible for delivering on the National Mission
Priorities. The aim of the National Mission is to improve and save the lives of people
who use drugs and their loved ones.
The purpose of the Annual Report Survey to give local ADPs a tool to engage
and discuss opportunities and barriers to delivery.
Strategic Planning follows a cycle of
 Assessing need
 Aligning resources
 Agreeing delivery plans and priorities
 Reporting and learning from outcomes
5.3 Annual Report Survey is designed to ensure key measures are in place and
that the local system is supporting the work of the ADP. The Annual Report Survey
should be agreed and signed off with the relevant Chief Officers and stakeholders
5.4 The Annual report survey sets out where the local ADP and relevant partners
are in relation to the Partnership Delivery Framework:
1. Strategic planning
2. Financial arrangements
3. Quality improvement and Outcomes
4. Governance and Oversight
5. The relationship between the ADP and the Integration Authority 
6. CONCLUSIONS
6.1 The Annual report survey sets out the range of work in place to scope strengths
and challenges in current arrangements. NLADP place the experience of
people with lived experience and families at the centre of developments and
engagement with all stakeholders. This approach has significantly reshaped
the commissioning intentions, created a robust response to the challenge of
preventable drug deaths in North Lanarkshire and informed the ADP
Investment Plans. 
6.2 A detailed report with full commissioned services activity, governance processes
and financial arrangements will follow at the next meeting. This will reflect
progress made in 2022/23 towards the associated measures set out below.

should now publish rehab pathways online setting out how people can access
residential rehab. 
• Harm reduction – consistent approaches and increase workforce
confidence/capacity to deliver HR. Includes Naloxone provision, Blood-Bourne
Virus testing and wound care.
• Assertive Outreach – ADPs should define their approach for increased
support with commissioning for effective assertive outreach/crisis support.
• Treatment Targets – increase engagement by 9% (113) by 2024
• Whole Family Approach – increase/widen Family Inclusive Practice (FIP)
across all treatment and care settings
• Recovery – Lived and Living Experience (LLE) involved in design, delivery
and evaluation of services. LLE Panels to be established.
• Mental Health – Complex needs are fully considered and met via trauma
informed workforce
• Stigma – tackled at local level

Appendix 1 
Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) Annual Reporting Survey: 2022/23 
This survey is designed to collect information from all ADPs across Scotland on a range of
aspects relating to the delivery of the National Mission during the financial year 2022/23.
This will not reflect the totality of your work but will cover those areas where you do not
already report progress nationally through other means. 
The survey is primarily composed of single option and multiple‐choice questions, but we want
to emphasise that the options provided are for ease of completion and it is not expected that
every ADP will have all of these in place. We have also included open text questions where
you can share more detail. 
We do not expect you to go out to services in order to respond to questions relating to
activities undertaken by them in your area. Where questions refer to service level activities,
we are interested in the extent to which you are aware of these at an ADP level. 
We are aware of some element of duplication with regards to questions relating to MAT
Standards and services for children and young people. To mitigate this, we’ve reviewed the
relevant questions in this survey and determined the ones that absolutely need to be included
in order to evidence progress against the national mission in the long‐term. While some of
the data we are now asking for may appear to have been supplied through other means, this
was not in a form that allows for consistently tracking change over time. 
The data collected will be used to better understand the challenges and opportunities at the
local level and the findings will be used to help inform the following:
 The monitoring of the National Mission;
 The work of a number of national groups including the Whole Family Approach Group,
the Public Health Surveillance Group and the Residential Rehabilitation Working
Group, amongst others; and
 The priority areas of work for national organisations which support local delivery. 
The data will be analysed and findings will be published at an aggregate level as Official
Statistics on the Scottish Government website. All data will be shared with Public Health
Scotland to inform drug and alcohol policy monitoring and evaluation, and excerpts and/or
summary data may be used in published reports. It should also be noted that the data
provided will be available on request under freedom of information regulations and so we
would encourage you to publish your return. 
The deadline for returns is Tuesday 27th June 2023. Your submission should be signed off by
the ADP and the IJB, with confirmation of this required at the end of the questionnaire. We
are aware that there is variation in the timings of IJB meetings so please let us know if this
will be an issue. 
If you require clarification on any areas of the survey or would like any more information,
please do not hesitate to get in touch by email at substanceuseanalyticalteam@gov.scot.
