Mittwoch 1. Juni 2011 von htm
The number of alcohol-related hospital admissions in England has topped one million for the first time, according to official statistics. An NHS Information Centre report said admissions had increased by 12% between 2008-09 and 2009-10. That includes liver disease and mental disorders due to alcohol abuse as well as some cancers, accidents and injuries.
The Department of Health will publish a new alcohol strategy later this year.
The number of admissions reached 1,057,000 in 2009-10 compared with 945,500 in 2008-09 and 510,800 in 2002-03. (Source: Alcohol Reports, 05/30/11) bbc.co.uk, 05/26/11
