Presentation overview
• Lancashire• Commissioning• Creating the space for recovery• LUF and RRR• Challenges
Back to basics
• A commissioner can be lots of things: – a change agent, a catalyst, a leader, a broker, a pivot, a linchpin, an
enabler, an architect, a politician, a fixer– Or: a nuisance, a martinet, a petty bureaucrat, a frustrated service
provider, a pushover, an ATM• Commissioners are few in number and dedicated substance misuse
commissioners are increasingly rare.• Commissioning is directing resources wisely and generating a culture
of improvement and change. • Commissioning is a great responsibility, full of potential and
possibilities. Poor commissioning wastes resources and creates disharmony
Here and now
• Increased competition for resources• Commissioners must be pro-active around system change• Substance misuse sector must evolve or will start to wither• Integration, not disintegration. Systems not lots• Providers must develop products and solutions• Engage and mobilise the recovery community• Must focus on outcomes• The need for flexibility.
