To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many admissions to hospital through accident and emergency departments with an alcohol-related diagnosis there were in (a) Suffolk, (b) Norfolk and (c) Essex in each of the last four years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many admissions to hospital through accident and emergency departments with an alcohol-related diagnosis there were in (a) Suffolk, (b) Norfolk and (c) Essex in each of the last four years.
Information is not available in the format or for the period requested.
Information on the sum of alcohol attributable fractions for admissions to hospital through accident and emergency departments in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex from 2009-10 to 2012-13 is shown in the table below:
County | 2009-10 | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 |
Suffolk | 4,375 | 5,023 | 5,240 | 5,509 |
Norfolk | 7,456 | 8,171 | 9,292 | 9,398 |
Essex | 12,863 | 14,067 | 14,905 | 14,768 |

Note:
- It should be noted that this is not a count of patients as the same patient may have been admitted more than once in a year.
- Alcohol attributable fractions do not provide a count of episodes with an alcohol related diagnosis or cause code but rather an estimate of the numbers based on the proportion of diseases and injuries that can be wholly or partially attributed to alcohol. In addition, partial alcohol attributable fractions are not applicable to children aged under 16 years.
- The following trusts have been used to define activity in each of the referenced counties:
- West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (FT) (Suffolk);
- Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust (Suffolk);
- James Paget University Hospitals NHS FT (Norfolk);
- Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS FT (Norfolk);
- Queen Elizabeth Hospitals King's Lynn NHS Trust (Norfolk);
- Mid Essex Hospitals Services NHS Trust (Essex);
- Colchester Hospital University NHS FT (Essex);
- Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS FT (Essex);
- Southend University Hospital NHS FT (Essex); and
- The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (Essex).
- The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO), which uses 48 indicators for alcohol-related illnesses, determining the proportion of a wide range of diseases and injuries that can be partly attributed to alcohol as well as those that are, by definition, wholly attributable to alcohol. Further information on these proportions can be found at :
http://www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf
- The application of the NWPHO methodology has recently been updated but is not currently available from HES.
- The attributable fractions have recently been updated, but this analysis uses the fractions defined in 2008 pending update of the underlying database from which this analysis was produced.
- The alcohol attributable fraction is set to 1 (100%) where the admission is considered to be entirely due to alcohol, e.g. in the case of alcoholic liver disease. These records are described as wholly alcohol attributable.
- The alcohol attributable fraction is set to a value greater than 0 but less than 1 according to the NWPHO definition, e.g. the alcohol fraction of an admission with a primary diagnosis of C00 - malignant neoplasm of lip, where the patient is male and between 65 and 74 is 0.44 - these records are described as partly alcohol attributable.
- These wholly and partly attributable fractions can be aggregated to supply an estimate of activity which can be considered wholly or partly attributable to alcohol.
- A finished admission episode (FAE) is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.
- Note that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March.

Further information on these proportions can be found at: www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf | |||
| The
application of the NWPHO methodology has recently been updated and is
now available directly from HES. As such, information about episodes
estimated to be alcohol related may be slightly different from
previously published
data. Alcohol attributable fractions are not applicable to children under 16. Therefore figures for this age group relate only to wholly-attributable admissions, where the attributable fraction is one. 2 Admission Method This field contains a code which identifies how the patient was admitted to hospital. 21 = Emergency: via Accident and Emergency (A and E) services, including the casualty department of the provider 28 = Emergency: other means, including patients who arrive via the A and E department of another healthcare provider 3 PCT of main provider This indicates the PCT area within which the organisation providing treatment was located. 4 Assessing growth through time (Inpatients) HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, changes in activity may be due to changes in the provision of care. Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), Health and Social Care Information Centre |

| Notes: | ||||||
| 1. Estimate of alcohol-related admissions | ||||||
| The number of alcohol-related admissions is based on the methodology developed by the North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO), which uses 48 indicators for alcohol-related illnesses, determining the proportion of a wide range of diseases and injuries that can be partly attributed to alcohol as well as those that are, by definition, wholly attributable to alcohol. Further information on these proportions can be found at: | ||||||
| www.nwph.net/nwpho/publications/AlcoholAttributableFractions.pdf | ||||||
| The application of the NWPHO methodology was updated in summer 2010 and is now available directly from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). Information about episodes estimated to be alcohol-related may be slightly different from previously published data. | ||||||
| 2. Accident and Emergency | ||||||
| Admission method Codes 21 and 28 were used: | ||||||
| 21: Emergency via A&E, including the casualty department of the provider; | ||||||
| 28: Emergency: Other means including patients who arrive via the A&E department of another healthcare provider. | ||||||
| 3. SHA/PCT of residence | ||||||
| The SHA or PCT containing the patient's normal home address. This does not necessarily reflect where the patient was treated as they may have travelled to another SHA/PCT for treatment. | ||||||
| 4. Assessing growth through time | ||||||
| HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in national health service practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. | ||||||
| 5. Data quality | ||||||
| HES are compiled from data sent by more than 300 NHS trusts and PCTs in England and from some 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. While this brings about improvement over time, some shortcomings remain. | ||||||

| Finished in-year admissions: | ||||||||||||
| A finished in-year admission is the first period of in-patient care under one consultant within one health care provider, excluding admissions beginning before 1 April at the start of the data year. Admissions do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. | ||||||||||||
| Data Quality: | ||||||||||||
| HES are compiled from data sent by over 300 national health service trusts and PCTs in England. The 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, During the years that these records have been collected, the NHS there have been ongoing improvements in quality and coverage. 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. | ||||||||||||
| 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 in the HES data. This may account for any reductions in activity over time. | ||||||||||||
| All Diagnoses count of Mentions: | ||||||||||||
| These figures represent a count of all mentions of a diagnosis in any of the 14 diagnosis fields in the HES data set. Therefore, if a diagnosis is mentioned in more than one diagnosis field during an episode, all diagnoses are counted. | ||||||||||||
| Diagnosis Codes Used: | ||||||||||||
| F10 - Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol | ||||||||||||
| K70 - Alcoholic liver disease | ||||||||||||
| T51 - Toxic effect of Alcohol | ||||||||||||
| Ungrossed Data: | ||||||||||||
| Figures have not been adjusted for shortfalls in data (i.e. the data are ungrossed). | ||||||||||||
| Low Numbers: | ||||||||||||
| Due to reasons of confidentiality, figures between 0 and 5 have been suppressed and replaced with ““*”” (an asterisk). | ||||||||||||
| PCT and SHA Data Quality: | ||||||||||||
| PCT and SHA data was added to historic data years in the HES database using 2002-03 boundaries, as a one-off exercise in 2004. The quality of the data on PCT of treatment and SHA of treatment is poor in 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99, with over a third of all finished episodes having missing values in these years. Data quality of PCT of general practitioner (GP) practice and SHA of GP practice in 1997-98 and 1998-99 is also poor, with a high proportion missing values where practices changed or ceased to exist. There is less change in completeness of the residence-based fields over time, where the majority of unknown values are due to missing postcodes on birth episodes. Users of time series analysis including these years need to be aware of these issues in their interpretation of the data. | ||||||||||||
