This is the final in a series of 12 reports [see report chapter 4] covering the Welsh Government’s commissioned evaluations of the introduction of a minimum price for alcohol (MPA) in Wales. Our final Contribution Analysis report provides an analysis of the Welsh minimum pricing journey up until the end of June 2024. It is a synthesis document that offers an overall evaluation of the implementation MPA into Wales. In doing so this report has brought together a range of secondary and primary data material. This includes the final reports from the other evaluations as noted above, some additional primary interview data, reflections on the implementation of pricing policies in other jurisdictions, and key messages from literature. To maintain a manageable volume and readability, this report does not repeat the detail of previous events and evaluations that is available elsewhere. Instead, it signposts to these existing evidence trails. Instead, it concentrates on summarising the position in 2024 and what might be said about the effect of MPA, and the next steps for the Welsh Government in renewing the policy or not.
