Miss Melanie Johnson: The Health Education Authority ran the public education campaign on the dangers of smoking prior to 1999-2000.
The tobacco control campaign run by the Department was launched in December 1999.
The following table shows advertising expenditure on the dangers of smoking from 1999-2000 to date.

In my response to a question from the hon. Member on 3 November 2004, Official Report, column 324-25W, advertising
expenditure on the dangers of smoking from 1999-2000 to date, the amount for 2003-04 was incorrectly listed as
£19.36 million. The correct figure for 2003-04 is £17.76 million.
The Department does not advertise the dangers of poor diet. However, the Department promotes the positive benefits of a healthy diet
through a range of on- going activities such as the five-a-day programme, including the school fruit and vegetable scheme, promotion
of food in schools as well as promoting breastfeeding among the disadvantaged groups.
The following table shows expenditure on promoting healthy diet from 1998 to 2005.

There has been no advertising campaign by the Department specifically on the dangers of excessive drinking in the last seven years.
The Department has funded, through its central communications budget, the production of a number of booklets or leaflets advising
the public on sensible drinking. Expenditure for these is shown in the following table.

Additionally, the Department funds the Drinkline helpline and a dedicated website. It is not possible to provide a separate cost for
the operation of the helpline, Drinkline, as this is provided as part of a contract covering FRANK (drugs), Sexual Health Line,
Drinkline and Know The Score, the Scottish helpline on drugs. These services have been provided under one contract and one
operational model, for purposes of cost efficiency. The approximate cost of operating the four services in 2004-05 is
£1.8 million including VAT, or £1.5 million excluding VAT.

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action the Government are taking to reduce the number of deaths for which

Miss Melanie Johnson: The policies set out in the alcohol harm reduction strategy for England seek to reduce harm caused by alcohol,
thus, contributing to a reduction in the number of deaths for which alcohol is the primary cause.
In addition, the White Paper, "Choosing Health", published on 16 November 2004 highlighted that the Government will build on
commitments within the alcohol harm reduction strategy for England through: Guidance and training to ensure all health professionals
are able to identify alcohol problems early. Piloting approaches to targeted screening and brief interventions in both primary care
and hospital settings, including accident and emergency departments. Developing a programme for improvement for alcohol treatment
services based on the findings of an audit of demand for and provision of alcohol treatment in England and the models of care

in the Prime Minister's strategy unit's paper, "Alcohol Misuse: How much does it cost?" (September 2003) gives an overall figure for
treatment services of £96.1 million in 2002.

Notes:
1. A finished in-year admission is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider,
excluding admissions beginning before 1 April at the start of the datayear. Please note that admissions do not represent the
number of in- patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. 2. The primary diagnosis is the first of up to
14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the hospital episode statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the
patient was in hospital. 3. The cause code is a supplementary code that indicates the nature of any external cause of injury,
poisoning or other adverse effects. 4. Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed). Source:
