Alcoholic Drinks: Misuse
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to reduce the cost of alcohol to the NHS.
- Answer
-
As part of the NHS Long Term Plan, we are supporting acute hospitals to establish or improve specialist Alcohol Care Teams (ACTs) in hospitals with highest rates of alcohol harm. It is estimated that, if implemented in the 25% of hospitals with the highest rates of alcohol-dependence-related admissions, fully optimised ACTs could prevent 50,000 admissions over five years.
