FPH President responds to the Public Accounts Committee report on health services for alcohol misuse

Professor Alan Maryon-Davis, President of the UK Faculty of Public Health, commented on the publication of the Public Accounts Committee report Reducing Alcohol Harm: Health services in England for alcohol misuse:

"Enough is enough and it's time to get tough. Standardised labelling is a must. But so too is a ban on deep price cuts and giveaways. The government should stop pussyfooting around and set a minimum price for alcohol that eliminates ultra-cheap heavy drinking without disaffecting all those who drink moderately."
