Following the announcement of the eight pilot sites in April 2011, work has been taking place to develop and implement pilots exploring how to incentivise drug and alcohol recovery systems to improve delivery of outcomes. As part of this process, the Government has set the following high-level outcomes:

• Free from drug(s) of dependence
• Offending
• Employment
• Health and well-being

A Co-design Group - consisting of representatives from local partnerships in the pilot sites and central cross government departments and experts from the field – has been developing proposals to measure these outcomes and set eligibility criteria. The Co-design Group is now inviting comments from the sector on draft proposals. The Group would like to encourage organisations and individuals to send detailed comments by Wednesday 3rd August 2011 to: pbrfordrugsrecovery@dh.gsi.gov.uk.
