Future Steps
Release of the needs assessment data (Nov)
The production of an outcomes measure for alcohol treatment
Filling data ‘black-holes’:
Tier 2 Brief Interventions – now reported on in NA
‘Other structured treatment’ – why so many falling into this category?
The production of a summary sheet for purple reports (if this is felt to
be of use)
Summary
Currently 3 quarterly reports produced
New comprehensive needs assessment data to be released soon
09/10 annual statistical report to updated soon
Looking to improve current purple reports
Any further questions?
