Table 1 notes:
1. 'Local Integration Authority Baseline' is the estimated minimum number of people prescribed OST in Scotland during financial year 2020/21 by Integration Authority (based on figures for their constituent local authorities). See ScotPHO https://www.scotpho.org.uk/behaviour/drugs/data/treatment-for-drug-misuse for full details of methodology.
2. 'Local Integration Authority Target By April 2024'' is the target number of individuals to be prescribed OST by April 2024.
3. 'Increase (count)' is the increase in the number of individuals over the baseline level required to meet the target number of individuals by April 2024.
4. 'Increase (%)' is the percentage increase on baseline level required to meet the target.
5. Figures presented above have been derived from Management Information published on ScotPHO (https://www.scotpho.org.uk/behaviour/drugs/data/treatment-for-drug-misuse) at local authority level sourced from the Prescribing Information System. 'Scotland' totals may differ from the sum of individual Integration Authority areas due to a small number of cases where the local authority is unknown.
