Alcoholic Drinks: Consumption
(asked on 16th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent assessment he has made of the efficacy of the Chief Medical Officer's alcohol consumption guidelines on public health.
This question was answered on 22nd November 2016
The United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers’ (CMO) low risk drinking guidelines were published in January this year.
It is too early to say what impact of the UK CMOs’ low risk drinking guidelines will have on alcohol consumption but we will be monitoring the public awareness of the guidelines through the Health Survey for England, commissioned by NHS Digital, which will be published in December 2016.
