How can we embed joint working and sharing of expertise in operational procedures?
How can we enable people with a dual diagnosis improve access to treatments and services?
How can we create effective leadership, rigorous training and coordinated approaches?
How can we prevent service users falling between services?
How can we ensure care pathways are in place to facilitate transition between services?
How can ensure services do not adversely affect outcomes through misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment?
What combination of incentives, relationships and measures can best deliver improved integration across sectors?
How can we reduce the negative outcomes, relapse, demoralisation, disengagement and non- compliance?
How do we reduce homelessness, violent behaviour, suicide, hospitalisation, imprisonment and early mortality?
How can we stop people with dual diagnosis from being particularly vulnerable to social exclusion?
How can we reduce significant impact of associated risks on the carers/families and children?
Where can we hope to be in twelve years time?
