Big Sobriety

22/02/2011 by Dandy.

One again David Cameron re-launches his idea of the Big Society but he didn’t call it a re-launch, he was probably annoyed that people didn’t get it the first time. I have a suggestion for him why not relaunch it a third time with a new title “Big Sobriety”, and new content and then people might just listen.

With over a million hospital admissions every year that are attibuted to excessive drinking, and the total cost to the NHS expected to rise to £3.7 billion. Hospital admissions for alcohol misuse stood at half a million in 2002 and have doubled, now costing the NHS £2.7 billion  every year.

If Cameron really wants to save money somewhere . . .
