To mark the 10th Anniversary of the Christie Report – the recommendations that came from the Commission on the Future Delivery of Public Services, chaired by Dr. Campbell Christie, published on the 29th June 2011 – our Policy Officer Faye Keogh considers the impact of the report and what this can mean for us now.
Our values, drivers, vision and mission remain the same, however we have new a new focus over the next 18 months.
“An ideal legal framework should create harmony rather than tension between the obligations and incentives law enforcement face, and those faced by health and social care providers. Where there is tension between legal enforcement and evidence-based interventions, substantial resources can be wasted on ineffective treatments, services that are never accessed by those who need them, or even interventions that increase rather than decrease people’s risks of harm.”
