1:00 pm

I am interested to know from the panel whether there are some social entrepreneurs working in the area of alcohol misuse. Recently, Mr. Des Bishop has been something of a social entrepreneur with his comedy. The stuff that has come up in that programme, and our image abroad, is no laughing matter. I would be interested to hear any ideas on which those in that area are working. I would certainly be willing to champion it. Sometimes it feels that it might be easier to get things done from outside of Government. I know that sounds ridiculous, but Government is somewhat restrained or confined in what it can do.
