Consultation on drug and alcohol services

Manchester City Council is asking residents to give their views on its proposals for drug and alcohol services in Manchester. This is the latest consultation for residents to find out more about the 2013 -15 budget proposals for the directorate of Adults Health and Wellbeing.

The proposals look at ways in which savings can be made in commissioning services for drug and alcohol treatment as a result of a reduction in Government funding, without having a detrimental impact on the treatment of drug and alcohol users in the city.

The consultation runs until 10 May.  Consultation details are as follows:

•     8 March 1pm - 4pm Hapurhey Neighbourhood Project, Carisbrook Street
•     11 March 3pm - 6pm Conference Hall, Town Hall
•     14 March 1pm - 4pm Wythenshawe Forum

For full details of the proposals, links to further details including the full committee reports and a chance to give your views about the plans, go to www.manchester.gov.uk/consultations, where you can complete the online questionnaire or visit any branch library.
