Reducing Alcohol Harms in NI: The Potential of Minimum Unit Pricing

In September 2024, the Institute of Public Health (IPH) hosted an event in Parliament Buildings, Belfast, on ‘Reducing Alcohol Harms in Northern Ireland: The Potential of Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP)’.  Already implemented in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, MUP sets a minimum price for the sale of alcohol per unit, with the aim of reducing the availability of cheap alcohol. To summarise the key discussion points from the day, IPH has developed a briefing document which can be accessed at: https://www.publichealth.ie/sites/default/files/2024-12/MUP%20Outcomes%20report%20final%209%20Dec.pdf
