Purpose

To accept £399,439 from the Office for
Health Improvement and Disparities to enhance our work on smoking
cessation:
 
·        
Invest in enhancing local authority commissioned stop smoking
services and support, in addition to and while maintaining existing
spend on these services and support via the public health grant.
This should not replace other existing programmes which support
smokers to quit, for example the tobacco dependency programme
delivered within the NHS Long Term Plan;
 
·        
Build capacity to deliver expanded local stop smoking services and
support;
 
·        
Build demand for local stop smoking services and support; and
 
·        
Deliver increases in the number of people setting a quit date and 4
week quit outcomes, reporting outcomes in the Stop Smoking Services
Collection.
 
·        
The grant will be ring-fenced for use on local stop smoking
services and support.
