(a) – (f) An open Tender process is currently underway for the procurement of up to 33 additional alcohol and drug residential and low medical beds across the South West Region. Any Service providers applying for the Tender were required to undertake community consultation as a part of their bid. As this process has not yet been completed, it is not possible to comment on any proposals received to establish a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre in the South West area.
