| Field | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Reference period | 2022/23 · 2024/25 · 2026/27 |
| Coverage | Westmorland and Furness |
| Status | Missing or combined-area measures |

| Area code | E06000064 |
| Country | England |
| Opiate/crack prevalence (2022/23) | Not available for this area separately. The source estimate for former Cumbria is not split across its successor authorities. |
| Opiate treatment completion (2024/25) | 4.677%; 21 / 449; 95% limits 3.079–7.044%. |
| Opiate completion definition | The number of adults that successfully complete treatment for opiates in a year and who do not represent to treatment within 6 months. Denominator: The total number of adults in treatment for opiate use in a year . |
| Non-opiate treatment completion (2024/25) | 26.996%; 71 / 263; 95% limits 21.99–32.664%. |
| Non-opiate completion definition | The number of adults that successfully complete treatment for non opiates in a year and who do not re present to treatment within 6 months. Denominator: The total number of adults in treatment for non opiate use in a year . |
| Protected funding allocation (2026/27) | £2,710,361 |
| Funding scope | Protected drug and alcohol funding within the consolidated public health allocation. Allocation, not actual expenditure, capacity or total local treatment spending. Includes drug and alcohol prevention, treatment and recovery; do not divide by the opiate/crack prevalence estimate as if it were spending per patient. |
| Unmet need / waiting times | No compatible current local estimate included. Do not derive unmet need by subtracting different age groups, drugs or periods. |
Interpretation limits
The 2022/23 prevalence release uses former Cumbria; it cannot be assigned to either successor authority. The original Cumbria estimate is retained in the source data. Different indicators refer to different periods and populations. Treatment completion is not an access measure or an overall service-quality score. Long-term treatment can be appropriate; case mix differs. Missing and combined values are not zero. No current waiting-time or local unmet-need estimate is provided.
