We have spent 1,000 days and 1,000 nights waiting for this legislation. I will speak to the amendment. I am delighted the Minister sees fit to accept the amendment. It is prudent and makes sense. There is an impact on hospitals given that is where alcohol problems and the resulting ill health end up. The data are available so let us use them. Let us inform the Houses and citizens. Let us also inform the health service when we come to review and reassess treatment and care. I welcome the amendment.
