This paper has been developed by ASH in partnership with DsPH and Humber and North Yorkshire’s Centre for Tobacco Control Excellence to support local decision making in spending new funding to address smoking. It has been reviewed and endorsed by the Association of Directors of Public Health. An adapted version has been developed to support councillors to scrutinise local decision-making around how the additional stop smoking service funding announced by the government is allocated.
As a follow up to the briefing paper, ASH have produced a commonly asked questions document. This document summarises questions posed by colleagues across the system in the context of the dissemination of the briefing paper.
