Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to review the current provision of IEP services provided across Tayside and consider to what extent they are contributing to keeping this vulnerable population safe. The study will look at the coverage provided by the current service and map this against the known harms e.g. drugs litter finds, incidences of non-fatal overdoses and drug related deaths. This mapping process will then allow recommendations to be made in a strategic way to advise future service delivery plans to ensure that services are delivered that are reachable to the communities that need these valuable services.
