The Department, in partnership with the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse (NTA), published Models of Care for Alcohol Misusers in November 2005. Models of Care was informed by the review of the effectiveness of treatment for alcohol problems commissioned by the NTA. Both publications have been placed in the Library and are available at:"www.dh.gov.uk/en/Policyandguidance/Healthandsocialcaretopics/Alcoholmisuse/Alcoholmisusegeneralinformation/DH_4130659""www.nta.nhs.uk/publications/documents/nta_review_alcohol_problems_fullreport__2006_alcohol2.pdf"The Health Technology Assessment Programme, part of the Department's National Institute for Health Research, is currently supporting two studies looking in part at the cost effectiveness of therapies designed to help people stop smoking. These are:"a systematic review of the effectiveness and an economic analysis of cut down to quit with nicotine replacement therapies; and""relapse prevention in NHS stop smoking services: a review of current practice, potential effectiveness and cost effectiveness."

Table 1 uses the age group 16 to 19 as a proxy measure for teenage binge drinking. It also uses the Information Centre’s measure of binge drinking—boys drinking more than eight units in one day and girls drinking more than six units a day.Table 1 shows that, between 1998 and 2004, binge drinking by this age group changed very little.We are unable to determine if demand by this age group for accident and emergency services has increased, as records are not kept in a way that would allow us to make this assessment.Table 2 shows that admission to hospital following a visit to accident and emergency by this age group in each year from 1998-99 to 2005-06 rose from 4,114 to 7,237. This is almost entirely due to incidents of acute intoxication in this age group.Well over 90 per cent. of alcohol related admissions to hospital for this age group come via accident and emergency. Few admissions come from other sources such as GPs or planned admissions, indicating a small burden on longer term services.
