West Midlands to Hold Big Drink Debate Monday 29 September 2008 (provisional launch date)

This  autumn,  people  who  live  and  work  in  the  region  will have the opportunity to give their opinions on various issues to do with the subject of  Alcohol.  The  West  Midlands has a somewhat volatile relationship with alcohol,  with  some  of  our  local  areas featuring amongst the worst for alcohol  related  hospital admissions in the country. This debate will give people the opportunity to voice their opinion about what they think should be done to reduce the impact of alcohol related harm.

The  Big  Drink  Debate  West  Midlands is currently being developed but if anyone  is interested in getting involved in helping to run local events or giving  the  debate  a  push  when the time comes then please contact Nigel Smith at Department of Health West Midlands nigel.smith@dh.gsi.gov.uk.
