2.7 It should also be noted that through the needs analysis, which will form the basis for the LSB Single Plan, additional data will be identified to help further quantify the impact alcohol is having on our communities. This will in turn help identify meaningful outcome measures and assist in future planning. 2.8 It is recommended that any future work around alcohol misuse is guided by regional or national approaches and in particular to the Gwent Area Planning Board’s (APB) substance misuse strategy and commissioning plan, which is currently in development. 2.9 Alcohol harm reduction is currently a priority for the Health Social Care and Well-being Partnership and the Community Safety Partnership. More specifically, Alcohol Harm reduction is in the terms of reference of the Community Safety Partnership’s Prevention, Education and Training Group. Alcohol is also a priority of the Health Social Care and Well Being Partnership’s Well Being Network. There is a link between these groups to avoid duplication of effort. It is proposed that representatives from these 2 groups take forward the Action Planning process. 2.10 Caerphilly County Borough Council has accepted an invitation to fulfil a Leadership role in relation to alcohol across the Gwent area which means that not only will Caerphilly be guided by the APB, but that Caerphilly will also guide the APB in terms of alcohol misuse priorities. As a result of this leadership role, Caerphilly will host a regional alcohol conference, organised by Public Health Wales colleagues alongside Area Planning Board partners, in the Autumn of this year. 3.
