| Notes: | |||
| Includes activity in English national health service hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector. | |||
| Alcohol-related conditions | |||
| The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory. Figures for under 16s only include admissions where one or more of the following alcohol-specific conditions were listed: | |||
| Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (I42.6) | |||
| Alcoholic gastritis (K29.2) | |||
| Alcoholic liver disease (K70) | |||
| Alcoholic myopathy (G72.1) | |||
| Alcoholic polyneuropathy (G62.1) | |||
| Alcohol-induced pseudo-Cushing's syndrome (E24.4) | |||
| Chronic pancreatitis (alcohol induced) (K86.0) | |||
| Degeneration of nervous system due to alcohol (G31.2) | |||
| Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol (F10) | |||
| Accidental poisoning by and exposure to alcohol (X45) | |||
| Ethanol poisoning (T51.0) | |||
| Methanol poisoning (T51.1) | |||
| Toxic effect of alcohol, unspecified (T51.9) | |||
| Number of episodes in which the patient had an alcohol-related primary or secondary diagnosis | |||
| These figures represent the number of episodes where an alcohol-related diagnosis was recorded in any of the 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) primary and secondary diagnosis fields in a HES record. Each episode is only counted once in each count, even if an alcohol-related diagnosis is recorded in more than one diagnosis field of the record. | |||
| Ungrossed data | |||
| Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (ie the data are ungrossed). | |||
| Finished admission episodes | |||
| A finished admission episode is the first period of inpatient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Finished admission episodes are counted against the year in which the admission episode finishes. It should be noted that admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. | |||
| Admissions via A and E | |||
| Includes emergency admissions via the casualty department of the provider and the A and E department of another healthcare provider (Method of admission codes 21 and 28). | |||
| Primary diagnosis | |||
| The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the HES data set and provides the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital. | |||
| Secondary diagnosis | |||
| As well as the primary diagnosis, there are up to 19 (13 from 2002-03 to 2007-08 and six prior to 2002-03) secondary diagnosis fields in HES that show other diagnoses relevant to the episode of care. | |||
| Data quality | |||
| HES are compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and primary care trusts (PCTs) in England. Data are also received from a number of independent sector organisations for activity commissioned by the English NHS. The NHS Information Centre for health and social care liaises closely with these organisations to encourage submission of complete and valid data and seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data via HES processes. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. | |||
| Assessing growth through time | |||
| HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. The quality and coverage of the data have improved over time. These improvements in information submitted by the NHS have been particularly marked in the earlier years and need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. | |||
| Some of the increase in figures for later years (particularly 2006-07 onwards) may be due to the improvement in the coverage of independent sector activity. | |||
| Changes in NHS practice also need to be borne in mind when analysing time series. For example, a number of procedures may now be undertaken in out-patient settings and may no longer be accounted for in the HES data. This may account for any reductions in activity over time. | |||
| Assignment of episodes to years | |||
| Years are assigned by the end of the first period of care in a patient's hospital stay. | |||

The number of 16 to 24-year-olds admitted to hospital with an alcohol-related diagnosis in Northamptonshire, the East Midlands and England for the last three years is given in the table. The Department does not collect data on the number of alcohol-related hospital admissions in Wales.Data on alcohol-related admissions in Wales was published by the Welsh Assembly Government in their annual publication Substance Misuse in Wales. However, it is important to note that the methodology used to produce this data differs from that used for England and so the two sets of data are not comparable.

On the latter question, I hope that the code will deal with that matter. On the former question, we have finished the consultation and are preparing a response that will be out soon.

Data on the number of individual boys and young men hospitalised for alcohol-related conditions is not available, however data on the number of alcohol-related hospital admissions for boys and young men is available and is given in the following table. It is important to note that:"an individual may account for more than one admission;""the data given is for alcohol-related hospital admissions only, as data is not available centrally from which alcohol-related attendances in accident and emergency (A&E) departments can be identified; and""most attendances at A&E will not result in admission to hospital."

| The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO). Following international best practice, the NWPHO methodology includes a wide range of diseases and injuries in which alcohol plays a part and estimates the proportion of cases that are attributable to the consumption of alcohol. Details of the conditions and associated proportions can be found in the report Jones et al.

| Figures for under 16s only include admissions where one or more alcohol-specific conditions were listed. This is because the research on which the attributable fractions are based does not cover under 16s. Alcohol-specific conditions are those that are wholly attributed to alcohol—that is, those with an attributable fraction of one. They are: | |||||

Clearly, I was asked about the overall policy yesterday. We made it clear that we would be sceptical about proposals that punished the majority for the sake of an irresponsible minority. We are taking powers in the Welfare Reform Bill, so that in future we can require people who have problems with alcoholism to take up treatment as a condition of their benefits. I am sure that my hon. Friend will support those proposals tomorrow.

The Government take the issue of binge drinking very seriously. In 'Safe. Sensible. Social. The next steps in the National Alcohol Strategy', the Government set out their plans to tackle binge drinking, particularly focusing on the 18 to 24 age group. The Government are committed to challenging the binge drinking culture through a sustained national campaign to reduce the acceptability of public drunkenness and to increase the awareness of the health harms associated with excessive drinking. The 'Know Your Limits' campaign started in June 2008, and aims to raise the public's knowledge of units of alcohol to ensure that everyone has the information they need to estimate more accurately how much they drink. The Government will also build on the 'Know Your Limits' campaign to raise awareness of the risks of harmful drinking, and will target information and advice towards people who drink at harmful levels, and their families and friends.The Government will also continue to take tough enforcement action against those individuals who exhibit unacceptable behaviour while intoxicated. The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 brought in a range of additional measures to tackle alcohol related crime and disorder, including directions to leave which enable the police to ban a person from a locality for a maximum of 48 hours. The Government have also funded four alcohol arrest referral pilots which target alcohol related offenders with the aim of providing interventions to drive home messages about alcohol and risks and to promote behaviour change. The pilots will be extended to a number of other areas by the end of 2008.

The Home Office does not routinely collect records on levels of binge drinking by age and gender although a number of ad hoc studies have been published over the past decade. These are as listed.It is also worth noting that there is no universally agreed definition of binge drinking, but the term has generally been used to describe a pattern of drinking that involves drinking alcohol to excess over a short period of time."Underage drinking: findings from the 2004 Offending, Crime and Justice Survey Matthews et al (2006) Home Office Findings 277).

My hon. Friend makes an important point and I congratulate her on her tenacity and determination in taking a lead in her constituency to make sure that those powers are used. I am delighted that, in the latest enforcement campaign, the police used new powers to issue more than 8,000 penalty notices for disorder and I will certainly make sure that alcohol disorder zones, drinking banning orders and the closure powers in the Violent Crime Reduction Bill are used in a similarly proactive way.

The Licensing Act 2003, which came into effect in November 2005, and a series of alcohol misuse enforcement campaigns have been central to the Government's wider strategy to reduce the harms caused through the misuse of alcohol. The results of the recent enforcement campaign show that, in participating basic command unit areas, all violent crime decreased by 11 per cent.
