Alcohol Addiction
The number of patients admitted to hospital suffering from alcohol addiction has topped one million for the first time, according to figures from the NHS information centre.
Between 2008-09 and 2009-10, there has been a 12 percent increase in the number of patients admitted to hospital for alcohol addiction. More than 60 percent of admissions were men, and the total cost to the NHS was estimated as £2.7bn. There were 6,584 deaths directly related to alcohol addiction in 2009, which shows a slight reduction from the previous year, but indicates an increase of 20 percent in a decade.
Alcohol concern has described these findings as 'worrying but not at all surprising' and have suggested that admissions will continue to rise as a direct result of the government's 'ongoing failure' to tackle the causes of alcohol misuse. The chief executive of alcohol concern, Don Shenker, has suggested that government policies such as the ban on selling alcohol below the cost of alcohol duty and VAT, and responsibility deals with drinks producers and retailers are simply not working.
John Mallalieu, spokesperson for Turning Point, states that the latest figures suggest that the government need to start treating the issue of alcohol addiction as seriously as they do the misuse of illegal drugs, and has called for equal investment in treatment provision; particularly the provision of specialist alcohol staff in all A&E departments.
There is also some indication that the type of job a person has can be indicative of the chance of them suffering from alcohol addiction; the Office for National Statistics (ONS), shows that men whose jobs are classed as “routine” – such as labourers or van drivers – are three and a half times more at risk of dying from alcohol related diseases than men in managerial or professional roles. The same was applicable for women in routine jobs, such as cleaners or machinists, where they face a 5.7 times higher risk than women in professional jobs. The report suggests that alcohol related deaths in the less advantaged groups tend to be younger, as well as more common, with mortality peaking in middle age.
