England urged to introduce minimum alcohol pricing

The researchers analysed 1.24 million separate alcohol purchases using sales information supplied by the global data company Kantar. This showed that, compared with the English regions, alcohol purchases fell by 7.7% in Scotland in the first half of 2020 and in Wales by 8.6%. This maintains the positive impact of the policy in Scotland, which had been reported by the same researchers in August 20219 in The BMJ.2
