Text
I thank the Minister for his statement. He referred to revised modelling by the University of Sheffield in 2023. At the heart of that study was an acknowledgement that the estimates were unlikely to reflect the impact of minimum unit pricing on people who are addicted to alcohol and that additional support would be needed for that group if the policy was pursued. Did the Minister follow that advice when bringing plans for minimum unit pricing to the Executive? If not, will he give a concrete commitment to expanding inpatient and residential rehabilitation services?
