I announced in my Written Ministerial Statement of 23 July 2014, columns WS135-136, that the costs of implementing policies in the Health and Social Care Act incurred to 31 March 2014 were £1,316 million. This is the latest available figure.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
These costs have been more than covered by the savings arising from the Health and Social Care Act, which up to 31 March 2014, were approximately £4.9 billion.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s Alcohol Strategy, set out ambitions whereby \u2018we will radically reshape the approach to alcohol and reduce the number of people drinking to excess\u2019. The ambitions include:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- a change in behaviour so that people think it is not acceptable to drink in ways that could cause harm to themselves and others;<\/p>
<\/p>
- a reduction in the amount of alcohol-fuelled violent crime;<\/p>
<\/p>
- a reduction in the number of adults drinking above the National Health Service guidelines;<\/p>
<\/p>
- a reduction in the number of people \u2018binge drinking\u2019;<\/p>
<\/p>
- a reduction in the number of alcohol-related deaths; and<\/p>
<\/p>
- a sustained reduction in both the numbers of 11-15 year olds drinking alcohol and the amounts consumed.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In November 2012, the Home Office launched a consultation on five key areas with the aim of reducing alcohol-fuelled crime, anti-social behaviour and alcohol-related health harm.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government response, published in July 2013, provided an analysis of the responses and set out the next steps that the Government will take:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- targeted national action, ending sales of the cheapest alcohol by introducing a ban on selling alcohol below the price of duty and VAT, and strengthening the ban on irresponsible promotions in pubs and clubs;<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- a challenge to industry to increase its efforts, building on what has already been achieved through the Public Health Responsibility Deal. This includes tackling high strength products; promoting alcohol responsibly in shops; improving education around drinking; and supporting targeted local action; and<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
- support local action on alcohol-related harm, identifying a number of high harm local alcohol action areas and take action with them to strengthen local partnerships; improve enforcement; and share good practice based on what works locally. The Minister for Crime Prevention announced the twenty successful areas on 13 February 2014.<\/p>
