Footnotes
1) Strategy: NTA Equality and Diversity Strategy
The NTA equality and diversity strategy  
The NTA equality and diversity strategy was both a response to additional statutory 
obligations under new diversity legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act 
2005 and the re-iteration of the NTA’s commitment to working towards genuinely 
appropriate drug misuse treatment for all. As a special health authority, the NTA has 
general and specific duties in order to meet its statutory obligations under a suite of 
equality and diversity legislation. The equality and diversity strategy underpins and 
informs all aspects of the work of the NTA.  All NTA staff are required to implement 
the strategy in their day to day work.  Figure 1 illustrates the continuous improvement 
approach to the operation, implementation and review of this cross-cutting strategy.
