The RCPI’s Policy Group on Alcohol fully supports the approach set out in the Department of Health 2012 Steering Group Report on a National Substance Misuse Strategy (NSMS)and it is our view that implementation of the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill, the first of its kind, will set a strong precedent for further changes that will positively impact the health and well-being of the nation for many years to come. This document outlines a number of additional recommendations the RCPI Policy Group on Alcohol would like to see included in the Public Health (Alcohol) Bill.
