Consumer news and issues with Julian Worricker.

Presented by Julian Worricker.

How can we reduce the harm alcohol causes our society?

A new report from the National Audit Office puts the cost of alcohol misuse to the National Health Service at Β£2.7 billion a year. How can we reduce the harm alcohol causes in financial terms and the harm caused to individuals and families? And how do we balance that against individuals' right to a social drink? We hear your views.

Shona Robinson, Minister for Public Health, Scottish Parliament.
