My question was glossed over. I asked whether the drinks companies are providing any financial resources to those who work in the health sector. Every time the argument is put forward about the amount of money that is paid in sponsorship and what it then generates for the economy it completely ignores the elephant in the room of the amount of money with which the State is burdened as a result of the health implications of the abuse of alcohol and smoking as well.
