Sexual health and drug and alcohol treatment services are commissioned by local authorities as part of their public health responsibilities. The decision on how much is actually spent on local public health services rests with individual authorities, taking account of local needs and priorities. Local authorities are best-placed to make an assessment of local needs, prioritise and deploy resources accordingly.

Information on spending on teenage pregnancy services and drug and alcohol abuse services in 2016-17 is not available. Local authority reported information on spend against specified categories of public health is available for the years 2013-14 and 2014-15 at the web address below:
