Report of the Interim Director of Public Health proposing a draft Alcohol Strategy for the City, attached.

The Board received and noted the report of the Interim Director of Public Health detailing a draft alcohol strategy the vision of which was “A safe, healthy and vibrant City where people who chose to drink alcohol did so without harm”.

The Board noted that discussions were taking place with Safe City Partnership regarding which Partnership was the most appropriate to “own” the strategy.  The Board noted that alcohol and the link to pregnancy was missing within the strategy and needed to be there; the Board also recommended that the Young People’s Forum be involved in any consultation relating to the strategy. 

The Board were requested to feedback any comments on the proposed priorities and outcomes to Sarah Weld and Katy Anastasi by 9^th December at the latest.
