The below Parliamentary question was asked by Liam Byrne on 2015-10-09.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance his Department has issued to local authorities on steps to tackle alcohol misuse.
Jane Ellison
Local authorities are responsible for assessing local need for alcohol prevention and treatment services and commissioning interventions and services based on that need. Public Health England (PHE) works closely with local authorities – via nine regional centres – by providing advice, support and evidence-based guidance in a range of public health issues, including alcohol misuse.
An example of this is the support PHE gives to local authority commissioners with the joint strategic needs assessment (JSNA) process and their local joint health and wellbeing strategies. The annual JSNA support pack from PHE covers four topics including alcohol harm prevention, treatment and recovery. For more information, see the pack which is available online at:

I refer the Rt. Hon. Member to the answer given by my Rt. Hon. Friend, the Minister of State for Universities and Science (David Willetts), on 11 July 2011, Official Report, column 195W.
Further education (FE) colleges and training organisations receive a post-19 funding allocation each academic year at the programme level (for example budgets for adult skills, adult safeguarded learning and/or offender learning and skills).
As funding is not allocated at the learning aim level, the amount of money spent on TUC learning aims is not reported centrally by the Skills Funding Agency.
From the 2011/12 academic year a single adult skills budget was introduced. This will provide FE colleges and training organisations with the flexibility to offer the range and balance of programmes, from basic skills to higher-level skills, in the mode of delivery that will best meet the needs of learners, employers and communities (classroom, workshop, online and in the workplace).
