The Health Service Executive (Governance) Bill 2012 will come before the House next week. The alcohol strategy Bill proposals are currently being finalised by the Minister of State, Deputy White, on foot of the recommendations of the national substance misuse strategy report. The Minister of State is giving this priority but unfortunately there was not as much preparatory work done on the Bill as we had been led to believe.
