Alcohol strategy emerges

A national alcohol harm reduction plan for England has been drawn
up by the Prime Minister’s strategy unit.
The plan is designed to promote action to help those who misuse
alcohol, and identify, prevent and manage the consequences of
misuse, including disorder and anti-social behaviour.
The strategy unit is inviting responses to a consultation document
by 15 January. Regional events about the strategy will take place
in Manchester on 26 November and Bristol on 29 November.
