Report by Director of Community Services

The Audit Committee, at their meeting on 18 September 2009, considered a report detailing progress made by the Council against the recommendations of the Audit Commission (2009) report entitled “Drug and Alcohol Services in Scotland” and requested a further report detailing a breakdown of expenditure incurred on alcohol and addiction services by both Argyll and Bute Council and NHS Highland, including staffing and administration costs.  A report expanding on expenditure on addiction services provided by Argyll and Bute Council and NHS Highland via the Argyll and Bute Community Health Partnership was before the Committee for consideration.

Decision

Noted the contents of the report and that the Needs Assessment requested by the Audit Committee at its meeting on 18 September 2009 is expected to be presented to the Committee in September 2010.
