Rehab News: Alcohol consumption reduction strategy 'in place across the board'

Health minister Dawn Primarolo has rejected claims that the government's efforts to reduce the incidence of alcohol dependence and consumption are proving ineffective.

The accusations were levelled in a report by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCB), which recommends that more should be done to reduce the availability of alcohol by reducing hours of sale and increasing taxes.

However, Ms Primarolo has maintained that a thorough strategy to reduce the consumption of alcohol is already in place, and that the health and social effects of binge drinking are being tackled "across the board".

Continuing her defence, Ms Primarolo said: "The government has also cut alcohol violence and disorder with the introduction of tough new measures to help the police and local authorities tackle alcohol related anti-social behaviour and to shut down problem premises."

"Only around one per cent of all premises have licences for 24 hour sales to the public, and, as the prime minister set out in the summer, the impact of these new licensing laws is being kept under review and we will look at any new evidence," she added.
