That this House is concerned that the drug mephedrone, also known as 4-MMC, Meow Meow, and M-cat, is legal in the UK and readily available on the internet; notes that the drug is being increasingly used by young people, has been linked to the death of teenagers and has known side-effects such as headaches, palpitations, nausea, high blood pressure, a burning throat, nose bleeds and purple joints, weight loss and insomnia; further notes it is banned in some European countries; and therefore calls on the Government urgently to bring forward the review of this drug, to make it a controlled substance and to better educate youngsters about the dangers from using so-called recreational drugs.

| Notes: | |
| 1. 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. (2008) “Alcohol-attributable fractions for England: Alcohol-attributable mortality and hospital admissions”. | |
| Includes activity in English NHS Hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector. | |
| 2. 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. Admissions do not represent the number of inpatients, as a person may have more than one admission within the year. | |
| 3. Primary diagnosis: | |
| The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 14 (seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data set and provides the main reason why the patient was in hospital. | |
| 4. Secondary diagnoses: | |
| As well as the primary diagnosis, there are up to 13 (six prior to 2002-03) secondary diagnosis fields in HES that show other diagnoses relevant to the episode of care. | |
| 5. 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 14 (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. |
That this House is concerned about the increasing use of gamma-butyrolactone, GBL, as a date-rape drug; notes that the drug increases libido, euphoria, passivity and amnesia and renders the victim susceptible to non-consensual sexual activity, mugging and rape; further notes that this drug is supplied legally in the United Kingdom, often without checks or controls and frequently by post; acknowledges that the drug can be given to an unsuspecting person and that it is increasingly used as a date-rape drug, particularly in clubs where young girls are particularly at risk; and therefore calls on the Home Secretary to immediately ban the drug.
