I see pros and cons. More funding certainty, but risk of slowed innovation and bureaucracy. Could smaller community projects lose out?

Potentially. That’s why a detailed transition plan and stakeholder engagement is crucial now. Local NGOs should be involved in designing the new commissioning process.

It sounds like, ultimately, services won’t vanish—they’ll just be managed differently.

The goal is continuity and scaling up harm‑reduction programmes. But watchdog groups will need to monitor the transition closely to ensure no service gaps.

Agreed. I’ll keep an eye on announcements from the three commissioners once they’re appointed.
