Decision details

This decision follows previous approval to invest the additional smokefree grant funding in stop smoking services through maintaining existing services from the Public Health grant for stop
smoking services; build capacity to deliver expanded stop smoking services and build demand for stop smoking services.

To provide additional funding of £113,937 over the next 18 months to increase capacity within the Adult Tobacco Dependency Treatment Service and deliver additional quits to meet the smokefree generation targets. The intention is for the services contract to be varied (in
accordance with the contract provisions) in respect of the additional funding.

To provide additional funding of £100,000 over the next 18 months to increase the prescribing budget for the Adult Tobacco Dependency Treatment Service, to support the additional quits. This budget is held by the City of Doncaster Council and is paid directly to the current provider on receipt of invoice. The intention is for the services contract to be varied (in accordance with the contract provisions) in respect of the additional funding for the prescribing budget.

Option 1 Not invest in the local stop smoking service. Failure to increase capacity to deliver stop smoking advice and support is in breach of the grant funding.
