From the National Treatment Agency (NTA):
'From 1st April 2008, the Department of Health commissioned the NTA to collect and analyse alcohol treatment data on its behalf using the NDTMS. This subset of the NDTMS is known as the National Alcohol Treatment Monitoring System (NATMS). NATMS forms a key part of The Department’s Alcohol Improvement Programme.

This report provides the results of the first opportunity to analyse a full year of alcohol treatment data. The collection of data on structured treatment for alcohol misuse, as recommended in ‘Models of Care for Alcohol Misusers’ (MoCAM) (2006), enables national, regional and local-level reporting on alcohol treatment to support the National Alcohol Strategy. Data reporting aids policy formulation and supports the development of efficient commissioning systems at a local level. Policy is formulated by the Department of Health.'
