Hammersmith and Fulham Council is extending substance misuse services and implementing a new drug strategy.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Cabinet approved a two-year extension for its integrated substance misuse service contract in April 2026. This decision ensures continued support for residents affected by addiction, extending the agreement with Turning Point until March 2028. The service, which focuses on prevention, recovery, and enforcement, aims to maintain its strong outcomes in the borough.
The council is also implementing a new drug strategy in the 2026/27 financial year, as outlined to the Health and Adult Social Care Policy and Accountability Committee in January 2026. This strategy targets both the supply and demand of illicit substances, focusing on disrupting supply chains, providing high-quality treatment services, and fostering a generational shift in drug demand.
