In the UK Parliament, Early Day Motions (EDMs) have been instrumental in highlighting critical issues regarding drug and alcohol-related concerns. Led by Dan Carden MP and Rachael Maskell MP, EDM 664 focuses on addressing alcohol-related deaths, emphasising the urgency of altering current trajectories to combat this pressing issue. Concurrently, EDM 662, championed by Rachael Maskell MP, underscores the necessity of enhancing drug and alcohol treatment services specifically tailored for women, aiming to facilitate increased access to essential support systems for female individuals seeking recovery.

The initiative taken by MPs through Early Day Motions signifies a proactive stance towards addressing the complexities surrounding alcohol-related fatalities and the need to bolster gender-sensitive treatment services for substance use disorders. By amplifying these crucial discussions within the parliamentary realm, policymakers aim to drive substantive change in policies and resources allocated to combat the challenges posed by drug and alcohol misuse effectively.
