We were delighted to join over 30 leading health and policy experts in signing this letter to #WesStreeting
The UK Government's 10 Year Health Plan is totally insufficient to tackle the scale of the #AlcoholEmergency facing both Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Investment in treatment is sorely needed, but we can't treat our way out of our #AlcoholEmergency
That's why in our recent urgent action call we called for expanded early detection of liver disease - and immediate action on price, marketing and availability

Very much in line with our call for urgent action to address Scotland's #AlcoholEmergency
We need cross party backing for proven population measures to reduce alcohol harm, including a willingness to put people ahead of profit & face down the alcohol industry.

These services often provide genuine communities in which people can recover and thrive

5 years on, we're all still living with the impact of the Covid pandemic. ⚕️
The pandemic changed drinking patterns in Scotland.
Without urgent action to tackle alcohol harm, Scotland faces a ticking time bomb of alcohol related health problems.

We cannot treat our way out of the #AlcoholEmergency facing Scotland and the UK.
The best way to prevent and reduce alcohol harm, with the most robust evidence base, remains via tackling the affordability, availability and marketing of alcohol.
