What we want to see from the new Prime Minister to reduce alcohol harm

Natasha Buckham | August 2022 |

Many of the issues we’ve been working on to reduce alcohol harm have been put on hold until the new Prime Minister is announced on 5 September. Once they start, they are likely to put together a new team and their priorities may change, and existing plans may not go ahead. Consultations such as the Health Disparities White Paper have been paused for this reason. These are the main things we want to see from the new PM to show their commitment to reducing alcohol harm.
