We will consider the recommendations made by the Royal College of Surgeons for further work in relation to the benefits of introducing alcohol screening and brief interventions in a primary dental care setting. As the report notes, the Government intends to strengthen the approach to prevention in the planned new dental contract. Under the pilot care pathway, all patients receive an oral health assessment that screens for risk factors including alcohol consumption. Where patients report that they consume alcohol beyond the safe limits they receive targeted advice including, if required, signposting to appropriate specialist services.

The Government are fully committed to addressing women's offending—both for their own good and that of the public. Many women offenders who end up in prison have highly complex needs and too many go through a revolving door of reoffending. We must ensure that women who offend are successfully rehabilitated, and that we take an approach to women in the criminal justice system that recognises their different and often complex needs, including developing responses to their substance misuse problems. The Ministry of Justice is working with the Department of Health to:"pilot Drug Recovery Wings for short-sentenced, drug-dependent prisoners with continuity of treatment between prison and the community, including the provision of three such wings in women's prisons (HMPs New Hall, Askham Grange and Styal) from April 2012;""explore and test options for intensive community-based treatment alternatives to custody for offenders with alcohol or drug dependency, or mental health issues, with four women-only development sites services in Wirral, Bristol, Birmingham and Tyneside;""design and implement eight payment by results drug and alcohol recovery pilots where one of the outcomes to be incentivised is reduced reoffending; and""develop and, subject to business case approval, roll out youth and adult liaison and diversion services at police custody and courts by 2014, for offenders with a range of vulnerabilities, including substance misuse problems."In addition, to help women in prison to address their drug or alcohol problem, the Department of Health is funding the re-commissioning of drug and alcohol treatment in all establishments.

The Department's latest estimate shows that alcohol misuse costs the NHS £3.5 billion every year. Will the Secretary of State now champion a 50p minimum unit price? That would save more than 3,000 lives a year, rather than 1,000 a year, which is what his public health responsibility deal is expected to secure.

Will he work to address its causes, such as body image anxiety, as well as just treating the problem?

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making a good and important point. My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary will be subjecting these drugs to greater control under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, restricting their illegal import into this country. Controlling supply is one part of the effort. Prevention is also important; people need to be fully aware of the risks to their health. The FRANK service, which provides advice to young people and parents about drugs misuse, will make it clear that the misuse of steroids is dangerous. I would encourage local areas to work with local businesses, such as gyms and fitness centres, to publicise those risks.

[holding answer 26 March 2012]: Although most school-age children have never had an alcoholic drink, and the numbers who have done so are declining, the levels of binge drinking among 15 to 16-year-olds in the UK still compare poorly with other European countries.The Government's Alcohol Strategy was published on 23 March 2011. It announced a number of further measures to tackle the issue of excessive alcohol consumption which will encourage children to delay the age at which they have their first alcoholic drink and minimise the amount of alcohol they consume if they do start drinking.The strategy outlines the action to be taken to improve alcohol education for children and young people, raise their awareness of the harms, and ensure that parents are aware of their own responsibilities and the chief medical officer for England's guidance on alcohol consumption and young people. We will also work with regulators and industry to ensure the controls on alcohol advertising, marketing and retail continue to provide appropriate levels of protection for children and young people. As increases in the price of alcohol are linked to decreases in alcohol consumption, particularly among those who regularly drink heavily and young drinkers under 18, we will consult on the level to be set for a minimum unit price for alcohol and a proposed ban on multi-buy discounts in supermarkets and off-licences. We are also doubling the maximum fine for persistently selling alcohol to a person under 18 to £20,000 and making it easier to close down premises found to be persistently selling alcohol to young people.
