Provision of Stop Smoking in Pregnancy Services across Staffordshire

About

Staffordshire County Council awarded a contract to Everyone Health Ltd for the provision of Stop Smoking in Pregnancy Services across Staffordshire.

The service aimed to reduce the number of women smoking during pregnancy by providing evidence-based treatment and behavioural support to pregnant women making quit attempts.

The delivery was intended to reduce levels of smoking-related illness, disability, mortality, and health inequality for both the pregnant woman and unborn children.

The service had six key components: equitably accessible to all pregnant women who smoke; a particular focus on areas in Staffordshire with highest rates of smoking in pregnancy; offering the most effective, evidence-based treatments available; supporting pregnant women who smoke to successfully quit smoking; working with partners to improve referrals from targeted areas; and achieving high levels of Service User satisfaction.

The contract value was £400,000.
