Will the forthcoming public health (alcohol) Bill provide adequate funding and resources to local and regional drug task forces, including my own southern regional drug task force, to implement alcohol strategies? Task forces are required to implement local alcohol strategies even though their funding continues to be cut. It was cut by a further 3% in the recent budget. Expecting task forces to tackle the alcohol problem with diminishing resources is not acceptable.
