Drug related harms in homeless populations: government response
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, Department of Health and Social Care, and Luke Hall MP 19 September 2019
  • Government response to recommendations from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
  • Extract from the response:
    • On behalf of the DHSC, PHE is producing commissioning guidance for the health system in 2019-20 and beyond, to help improve health services for people experiencing rough sleeping. 
    •  Evaluation of models of service delivery for this cohort, funded by a Rough Sleeping Initiative grant, will identify approaches that are effective at engaging those who are homeless or at risk of being so.
