The Director of Public Health has agreed for the Council enter into a rebate agreement around prescribing a branded form of Buprenorphine to appropriate substance misuse clients and recovering monies already paid.

By signing up to this agreement it is expected that savings will be made to the prescribing budget line within the Public Health substance misuse budget. Prescribing will still be undertaken based on the clinical needs of the client and other prescribing options will still be available.
