Northern Ireland: Call For Minimum Price For Alcohol
Montag 6. September 2010 von htm
The Royal College of Psychiatrists in Northern Ireland has called on the Executive to take the advice of the Health and Social Development Ministers and follow Scotland’s lead in proposing a minimum price for alcohol of 45 pence a unit.
Both Health Minister Michael McGimpsey and Social Development Minister Alex Attwood have said in recent months that minimum pricing is needed to curb dangerous drinking habits that cost society up to £900 million a year. (Source: Medical News Today, 9/05/10)
