Inquiry into alcohol and substance misuse

The National Assembly for Wales’ Health and Social Care Committee undertook an inquiry into alcohol and substance misuse.

The Committee considered the following areas as part of its inquiry:

• the impacts of alcohol and substance misuse on people in Wales, including young people and university students; older people; homeless people; and people in police custody or prisons;
• the effectiveness of current Welsh Government policies on tackling alcohol and substance misuse and any further action that may be required;
• the capacity and availability of local services across Wales to raise awareness and deal with the impact of the harms associated with alcohol and substance misuse.
