(i)        to agree the direction of travel as outlined in the Alcohol and Drugs Partnership Investment Plan; and

(ii)       to request that an annual report be submitted to the IJB in respect of the Investment Plan.

The Board had before it a report by Simon Rayner, Alcohol and Drug Partnership Team Lead / SMS Operational and Planning Manager, which sought ratification of the ADP investment plan and direction of travel.

Members heard from Mr Rayner and Superintendent Richard Craig, Police Scotland, in respect of the report.  They advised that the ADP was going through a period of restructure and that governance around financing and the work to be undertaken was key.  Thereafter, Members asked questions in respect of how drinking in communities could be prevented, noting that there could be a challenge in engaging with the public in hard to reach areas.  There was discussion around linking with the Community Planning Partnership as elements of the Local Outcome Improvement Plan related to education in respect of alcohol.  Mr Rayner sought confirmation from the Board as to reporting around the plan and it was noted that the services being delivered would likely be reported through the Clinical Care and Governance Committee but that an annual report could be submitted to the Board.

The report recommended:-

that the Board agree the direction of travel as outlined in the Alcohol and Drug Partnership Investment Plan.

The Board resolved:-

(i)        to approve the recommendation; and

(ii)       to request that an annual report be submitted to the IJB in respect of the Investment Plan.
