Surrey Primary Care Trust (PCT) is conducting a survey to discover Surrey residents’ views and experiences of alcohol, in order to plan and develop an effective alcohol strategy across the county. The survey on this very important topic closes on 30 September so make sure you complete the questionnaire in time. Surrey PCT looks forward to hearing your views and has provided the following information for our readers:
Surrey’s Big Drink Debate is a major public engagement campaign right across the county, led by a partnership that includes Surrey Primary Care Trust (PCT), Surrey County Council, Surrey Police and all eleven boroughs.
The campaign is looking to find out more about attitudes in Surrey towards alcohol, principally through an online survey.
So far there has been an excellent response to the online questionnaire, which encourages people to share their views and experiences of alcohol and alcohol-related behaviour, and asks where they go to access help.
The campaign will raise awareness with all age groups that excessive and irresponsible drinking can be dangerous to health. It also provides information that enables people to understand how many units a week they are drinking and to find out about recommendations for sensible alcohol use.
Findings from the online survey will inform a Surrey-wide alcohol strategy that will set out new measures to tackle dangerous drinking head on, so it’s important people in Surrey have their say and help the agencies involved to get this right.
As part of the Big Drink Debate, Surrey PCT is running a free prize draw with the chance to win one of a number of exciting prizes which are being drawn every month until the survey closes.
