4. Improving the Quality of Existing Responses
RECOMMENDATION 4
NHS Boards and their primary care management components should be encouraged to employ the nGMS and nGPS frameworks to increase access to high quality, evidence based treatment programmes for substance misusers. |
The Executive supports the implementation of the new General Medical Services ( GMS) and new General Pharmaceutical Services ( GPS) contracts.
The new GMS Contract includes a National Enhanced Service ( NES) for patients suffering from drug misuse. NHS Boards therefore have a facility from within the GMS contract to provide services as described under the terms of the NES.
