This model will support both London residents and individuals who are sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping rough.

The aim is to create accessible, inclusive and responsive IPD delivery that supports health inclusion groups and contributes meaningfully to reducing health inequalities across the capital. The IPD provision will deliver a broad range of care to meet diverse and complex client needs. A key feature of the IPD service will be the strategic distribution of IPD bedspaces to support equitable access with a particular emphasis on increasing availability within London and surrounding region of M25 The model will encompass: • Specialist inpatient medically assisted withdrawal beds • Residential medically assisted withdrawal beds. To provide the required stability and guaranteed access, block booking of a proportion of IPD bed capacity will be essential.
