ARCHIVED - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Waiting Times Edit

As of 27/09/2022, this dataset has been superseded by a new version found here\r\n\r\nThis data provides a quarterly update on waiting times for people accessing specialist drug and alcohol treatment services. In 2011, the Scottish Government set a standard that 90% of people referred for help with problematic drug or alcohol use will wait no longer than three weeks for specialist treatment that supports their recovery. This data was extracted from the new Drug and Alcohol Information System (DAISy) and its predecessor the Drug and Alcohol Treatment Waiting Times (DATWT) database. DAISy was implemented in four NHS Boards (Ayrshire & Arran, Dumfries & Galloway, Grampian and Western Isles) from December 2020, and was available in all NHS Boards from April 2021.\r\n\r\nAll publications and supporting material to this topic area can be found on Public Health Scotland Substance Use page. The date of the next release can be found on our list of forthcoming publications.\r\n
