Alan Campbell
Opposition Deputy Chief Whip (Commons)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the September 2020 report by the Commission on Alcohol Harm, whether she plans to publish a new alcohol strategy.
Jo Churchill
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The Government is committed to tackling health harms from alcohol and supporting the most vulnerable at risk from alcohol misuse. Action on alcohol abuse continues through commitments in the Prevention Green Paper, the NHS Long Term Plan, funding to support children of alcohol dependent parents, and action to reduce alcohol-related crime. This wide-ranging approach negates the need for a separate stand-alone alcohol strategy.
