Alcohol and Other Drugs

Position statement: Reducing harms from alcohol in our communities (2017)
Counties Manukau Health has published a position statement; Reducing harms from alcohol in our communities. A position statement is a brief, evidence-based, high level statement about a particular issue. Alcohol-related harm is recognised as an important and increasing health issue with widespread impacts across health, social, and economic sectors. Harms burden not only the individual consuming alcohol, but also their whaanau and the community. This statement provides a strong base for CM Health’s alcohol harm minimisation work by clearly stating the evidence-based policies and actions CM Health supports. It aligns with our obligation to improve, protect and promote the health and wellbeing of the population we serve.
