Liam Byrne – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Liam Byrne on 2015-10-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which 50 areas have the highest incidence of the misuse of alcohol; and if he will make a statement.

Jane Ellison

We do not have any reliable data centrally for how areas are broadly affected by alcohol misuse.

We do have data from the public health outcomes framework indicator for hospital admissions where the main reason for admission was alcohol-related. Data for 2013-14 for each local authority is attached.
