Conservatives
“We will widen the role of police and crime commissioners to help them cut crime for their local communities. We will ensure that commissioners sit on local health and wellbeing boards, enabling better co-ordination of crime prevention with local drug and alcohol and mental health services. … So we will create a national community sentencing framework that punishes offenders and focuses on the measures that have a better chance of turning people around and preventing crime, such as curfews and orders that tackle drug and alcohol abuse. … We will improve the co-ordination of mental health services with other local services, including police forces and drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.” Last month a Conservative health minister ordered the development of a health strategy for the children of alcohol dependents.”
Labour
“We will implement a strategy for the children of alcoholics based on recommendations drawn up by independent experts,” (p68), in line with the consensus at a cross-party debate on the issue in February which led a Conservative health minister to order a strategy to be drawn up last month, as mentioned above.
LibDems
“We need to do more to promote healthy eating and exercise, making people aware of the dangers of smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol and other drugs, and helping to improve mental health and wellbeing. We will: … Introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol, subject to the final outcome of the legal challenge in Scotland.”
Plaid Cymru
The manifesto does not mention of alcohol or drugs.
Scottish National Party (SNP)
“Given the Scotch Whisky industry is a key sector of Scotland’s economy, SNP MPs will continue to advocate a review of alcohol taxation to better reflect alcohol content, while supporting health benefits through minimum unit pricing.”
