Primary and secondary consultation services to alcohol and drug, mental health and PDRS service providers are for the purpose of providing assessments and making recommendations about the management of dual diagnosis clients, but responsibility for ongoing client management remains with the relevant mainstream service.

This should particularly address issues of access, assessment and the development of effective treatment planning, with a strong focus on building capacity within the services to respond more effectively to people with a dual diagnosis 40 NB, this does not indicate the actual size of each team or organisation 28
