Like the Health Minister’s proposed #MinimumUnitPricing bill these bills should be debated, shaped and voted on by MLAs in committees and on the floor of the Assembly not blocked in the executive.
My letter about the executive’s failure to enable legislation on #MinimumUnitPricing to progress in NI in today’s @News_Letter -
The DUP have vetoed the evidence for #MinimumUnitPricing being examined in health committee and debated on the floor of the Assembly. They are deciding for the rest of us.
“We can’t just go and seek a headline.”
@PaulGivan says the DUP supports measures cutting alcohol abuse—but won’t back minimum pricing without evidence it works.
No proof, no policy.

#MinimumUnitPricing saves lives. With the evidence acknowledged, it’s time to act and protect public health in NI. 👇 Thank you @DannyDonnelly1 for sharing
Good to see that both the First Minister and Deputy First Minister have noted the Chief Medical Officer’s view on evidence for the benefits #MinimumUnitPricing as irrefutable. There is now no reason to further impede progress on delivering this important public health measure.

Members of the Health Committee have heard from @niada_info about the evidence for the benefits for #MinimumUnitPricing in NI. Not implementing #MUP would be a huge missed opportunity to save lives and reduce pressure on the Health Service. #HarmReduction
"Alcohol costs a high income economy about 2.5% of its GDP."
@SheilaGilheany tells @MarkCarruthers7 that @WHO research shows how big a drain on resources alcohol can be...
This is a highly targeted public health intervention that would save lives and reduce pressure on the health service. It also addresses an area of health inequalities. We can’t miss the opportunity to implement #MinimumUnitPricing in NI. #MUP
If NI introduced similar rate to Scotland, it would see a 2.5 litre bottle of cider more than double in price from £5.99 to at least £12.20.
The Chief Medical Officer says there is "absolutely no doubt" it is effective in reducing alcohol-related deaths. https://t.co/3moW19dLXQ
Very encouraging to see the evidence #MinimumUnitPricing for alcohol saves lives and reduces health inequalities. Time for NI to follow and introduce its own MUP legislation urgently.
@healthdpt @sinnfeinireland @duponline @uuponline @allianceparty @SDLPlive
Since minimum unit pricing began an estimated 156 alcohol related deaths have been prevented every year, and health inequalities have reduced as the greatest improvements were seen in deprived areas.

#MinimumUnitPricing - what a novel idea for South Africa…/
The daftness of the SNP’s MUP policy illustrated. You can buy a litre of gin, home-delivered, from Amazon for £16.99. The same product bought from the shop down the road would be a minimum of £24.39. Scottish grocery trade being harmed for no benefit.
We are disappointed that @NTGovHealth is introducing a Bill to remove the alcohol floor price in the Northern Territory. We urge the NT Govt not to abandon this alcohol harm reduction measure.

My thoughts
Up to 65p from 50p unit
Believe this is not extra tax for @scotgov
Tax is still 20%
15p extra raised is taken by the sellers
On that premise why can't Alcohol, Hospitality & retail sector just increase it by the difference in tax

@Luighseach @WHO So, why do we pay so much tax in Ireland on alcohol if we are ranked in 22nd place for alcohol consumption?

We are delighted to share this #UofGSpotlight special on #MinimumUnitPricing.

Here's a couple of graphs that provide a good shorthand to understanding the #minimumunitpricing conundrum in the context of deaths: yes, they have increased in Scotland between 2018 and 2022 (left-hand graph), but the increase in rate *much* slower in Scotland vs Eng/NE Eng👇
Wrapping up this wk's #ScotlandandAlcohol series - how do we make sense of MUP if deaths are up, and what other measures could/should be on the table?👇
