Libby from Alcohol Policy UK:
The Department of Health is consulting on the new framework for setting locally owned priorities across health and social care. Taking into account responses to the consultation, a set of 40 outcomes with supporting indicators for health and social care will be selected. The final 40 outcomes chosen will direct Government policy over the next three years.
The consultation asks for views on whether the proposed 40 outcomes are the right ones and if any crucial outcomes are missing. Important lifestyle issues such as smoking and obesity are already included as suggested outcomes. Alcohol misuse is NOT currently suggested as one of the 40 outcomes proposed.
