    Welcome that NHS bosses now adopting this Labour policy I announced at #Lab18 on hospital alcohol care teams. But these important interventions will be hindered by the deep cuts to community substance misuse services. Public health cuts must be reversedhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/heavy-drinking-patients-will-be-targeted-by-nhs-care-team-0r0rsf3w0 …

        Lost my Sister to alcohol..Alcoholism is an illness that affects the lives of both addict and family immeasurably. Correlation between Addiction..Crime and Depression which cost the UK huge amounts of money Investing in fighting addiction is cost effective. Not rocket science.

        maybe its time to stop knighting alcohol manufacturers? also what kind of lesson does it send that you have how many subsidised bars in the HoC? it would explain a lot of MPs terrible decisions i guess

        Good grief, really clutching at straws now aren't you? 😂 And lying about "health cuts" is to expected of Labour now. Fact check: funding is at record highs and the Tories have promised much more funding than Labour. Desperate.pic.twitter.com/aSGLY9Xmf9

        Scotland has been a nation of alcoholics for decades 😆 incase you haven't noticed it's promoted in the whole west to younger generations, through shows like Geordie shore etc so is being a slag celebrated on TV, and degenerate ideologies from the left.

        Alcoholism is a mental health issue, like pretty much every substance abuse case. I think people with bipolar tend toward alcohol. People with psychiatric disorders need to have tests such as blood to find imbalances such as toxcicity or deficiency.

        Increase the tax on alcohol. If it causes more people to use the NHS, need to fund it!

        Alcohol related illnesses and injuries cost the NHS £3.5 billion a year. Alcohol generates over £10 billion a year in taxes.

        could you come up with a policy to tackle the #ContaminatedBlood support discrimination in The UK Jonathan, @JackieDP will meet with campaigners in the near future and she needs to know how unfair the current systems are. The support in Scotland puts the rest of The UK to shame
