Children of alcohol dependents lose Tory champion | philcain.com

January 10, 2024 by philcain

Blackwood in February ►

Conservative MP Nicola Blackwood, who as health minister ordered a strategy to help the children of alcohol dependent people, narrowly lost her Oxfordshire seat to a Lib Dem in last week’s parliamentary election.

There is no mention of the strategy in the Conservative or LibDem manifestos, while an explicit commitment to it appears in Labour’s. Labour champions of developing a strategy, Jonathan Ashworth and Liam Byrne, were re-elected.

Blackwood’s replacement as minister with responsibility for public health has yet to be named. Ashworth was re-appointed Shadow Minister for Health on Wednesday.  ■
