§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what conclusions he reached on the report"Responding to Alcohol Related Problems in Scotland—The Development of Services"; what proposals are being implemented; and what effect there has been on the health education budget.
§ Mr. FairgrieveThis report, published by the Scottish Council on Alcoholism, contained a useful review of the problems in this field. The recommendations were directed to a range of public and other bodies; and, as resources permit, they are developing arrangements and services to meet the needs described. There has been no direct effect on the budget of the Scottish health education group, which is spending about £85,000 this year on publicity on alcoholic problems.
