10. Recommendations Review current Alcohol liaison nurse post to ensure that it would include case finding and deliver IBA; medical management of patients with alcohol problems; liaison with community alcohol and other specialist services Embedding IBA in frontline staff as part of their initial assessment process.

Increase access to Employment, Training, Education to ensure clients have access to supported housing and encourage diversionary activities which steer clients away from substance misuse such as sport, art, music etc.

34. Recommendations Increased partnership and promotion work to develop stronger links between community based generic services to reinforce and strengthen recovery and lessen the risks of relapse. Ensure all staff across all sectors, who regularly come into contact with clients with substance misuse or dual diagnosis (mental health and substance misuse), have the appropriate training and support relevant to their needs

35. Recommendations Commissioners to develop robust performance management systems to ensure effective monitoring Investigate reasons behind lack of engagement with treatment system particularly high attrition rate in criminal justice Robust mobile care planning across treatment system partnership

36. Young People – Key Issues Young people struggle with the transition to adult services and there are the obvious issues of their vulnerabilities within adult services and the appropriateness of these facilities for their needs There is no dedicated service in the borough to deal with young adults whose main substance is cannabis or cannabis and alcohol. Currently 722 deals with these clients or most of them would drop out. However the service is being reviewed due to recent budget cuts

37. Young People - Recommendations To have a dedicated person in 722 and a counterpart within adult services to deal specifically with clients aged 18-25 (transition phase). There should be an allocation of funding for this post from adult services.
