This is is a report for people with deep-seated and multiple problems which often have complex and multiple causes. They have co-occurring mental health and substance misuse problems and often occupy the margins of our society. Most can benefit from help and support of many types. But there are shortcomings and gaps in the help that is available. This report seeks to address them. The Working Group has taken account of the following policy initiatives, which already exist or are being developed; and all seek to narrow or close gaps in advice and support: towards social inclusion; towards a successful and sustainable economy, with good employment prospects, training experience and opportunities; towards reducing homelessness; towards targeted provision of housing support services; and towards creating equitable access to a range of care services, regardless of boundaries, and designed to meet the needs of people as clients or patients.
