Consultation process

DISC, in partnership with BARCA Leeds, St Martins Healthcare, St Anne’s Community Services and Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, have recently been awarded the Leeds Community Drug and Alcohol Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Service. As part of the procurement process the partnership undertook extensive Service User consultation to ensure that the new recovery service effectively addressed the needs of individuals in Leeds.

Initial consultation included a service user focus group and a service user questionnaire with over 70 respondents.  The proposed model is based on the feedback received from service users. The approach taken addresses current gaps in service provision and will provide those in recovery with additional space and time to develop the recovery capital needed to achieve, sustain and inspire recovery.
