Professor Julia Sinclair has joined other experts in calling for a UK strategy to tackle alcohol-related harm.

Figures show that alcohol-specific deaths rose by 42 per cent from 2019 to 2023.

A graphic featuring Professor Julia Sinclair. On the left side is a photo of Professor Sinclair smiling, wearing a patterned scarf. On the right side, against a blue background is her quote which states that government budget cuts have reduced the quality and availability of alcohol treatment since 2013, and a national strategy is needed to address alcohol-related harms and reduce health inequalities.
