Strategy Unit Homepage
Last updated: 17 November 2008
Alcohol Misuse: Responses to the Alcohol Misuse Consultation Paper The Strategy Unit was been commissioned to produce a cross-cutting strategy to reduce the harm caused by alcohol misuse. As part of this process the Unit - along with the Department of Health - carried out a public consultation on issues which the strategy needs to tackle.
The consultation ran from 15 October 2002 to 15 January 2003 and had two elements. Firstly, the Strategy Unit and Department of Health jointly produced a consultation document. Secondly, four consultation events were held during the autumn - in London, Manchester, Newcastle and Bristol.
319 organisations and individuals responded. The responses are available below, except where the respondee has requested that they are not published because they contain personal or other confidential details. Some submissions attached, or referred to, additional material which is available from the unit on request.
Every attempt has been made to ensure legibility of the responses published on this page. However, the legibility of the electronic copy is inevitably constrained by the format of the original response.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who responded to the document, as well as everyone who attended the consultation events.
