There are a number of drugs that can be used to treat, or that are used in the treatment, of alcohol dependency. The vast majority of these drugs are used to treat a range of other conditions and data on their use cannot be broken down to show use by disease group, therefore providing this data would be misleading. However, Dusulfiram (Antabuse) and Acamprosate Calcium (Campral EC) are used only in the treatment of alcohol dependency and the following table gives the combined number of prescription items for Dusulfiram (Antabuse) and Acamprosate Calcium (Campral EC) dispensed in the community in England over the last five years.
The information on the number of men and women diagnosed as alcohol-dependent is not collected centrally and information on the proportion of men and women diagnosed as alcohol-dependent is not available in the format requested.Information on the proportion of men and women in England who showed 'any dependence' on alcohol is available for 2000 and 2007 as part of the NHS Information Centre for health and social care report "Adult Psychiatric Morbidity in England, 2007". However, data on alcohol dependence is available for the following age groups 16 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, 65 to 74, and not the age groups requested.This report provides useful trend data, comparing 2007 with 2000, however it is important to note that it uses a definition of 'any dependence', which will have included a number of people with mild dependence who either did not require intensive specialised treatment or whose dependence would resolve without any intervention.Epidemiological analysis of alcohol dependence by independent academics, including that provided in the Alcohol Needs Assessment Research Project (ANARP) commissioned from St. George's university in 2004, included use of a different methodology for estimating the most clinically relevant level of alcohol dependence in the population, taking into account the reliability and robustness of using the cut-off chosen in their study.The cut-off used in the ANARP study, for example, was used to identify either moderately or severely dependent drinkers, as opposed to the identification of "any dependence" used for the "Adult Psychiatric Morbidity in England, 2007" report sample.ANARP conducted their research over a period of six months between September 2004 and February 2005, and found an overall prevalence figure for alcohol dependence of 3.6 per cent. in those aged between 16 and 64, which equated to 1.1 million people with alcohol dependence for England.The "Adult Psychiatric Morbidity in England, 2007" report, shows the proportion of men and women, by age, who showed any dependence on alcohol in 2000 and 2007. A copy of the "Adult Psychiatric Morbidity in England, 2007" report has been placed in the Library.

[holding answer 1 July 2009]: The information is shown in a table which has been placed in the Library.On advice from the NHS Information Centre for health and social care (Information Centre) data by primary care trust (PCT) has not been given, instead data has been given by strategic health authority (SHA). This is because the small number of patients at PCT level requires that all of the data for the 14 to 17 age group and the majority of the 18 and over age group would have to be suppressed, to prevent any identification of individuals, which means that the data which could be supplied would be meaningless.Additionally, the Information Centre has advised that SHA data be used instead of Government Office Region (GOR) data. SHAs have very similar boundaries to GOR, with the exception of South East Coast SHA and South Central SHA, which are together aggregated to South East GOR. It should be noted that after 2005-06 the SHA configurations changed, with the 28 SHAs merging to form 10 larger SHAs.The number of admissions does not represent the number of patients as one patient may have been admitted more than once.

The information requested has been placed in the Library, however, it should be noted that to protect patient confidentiality it is not possible to provide primary care trust (PCT) level data for the age groups under 10, 10 to 13 and 14 to 17-years-old. Therefore, data have been provided for under 18 years old and over 18 years old, additionally for some PCTs it has been necessary to combine these two age groups to protect patient confidentiality.

Tables which give the numbers of alcohol-related finished admissions by primary care trust (PCT) of residence and health care provider for the years 2002-03 to 2006-07, broken down by age and sex have been placed in the Library. These are the last five years for which data are available.Some PCT boundaries changed between 2002-03 and 2003-04 and between 2005-06 and 2006-07.Separate breakdowns have been provided for PCT of residence and healthcare provider, rather than a combined breakdown, to reduce the amount of information that has to be suppressed to prevent the disclosure of personal information.
