Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of alcohol-related admissions into hospital; and if he will make a statement.

In 2015/16 there were an estimated 339,000 hospital admissions in England where alcohol was the main reason for admission. Numbers and rates have been largely unchanged since 2009/10. This data is published annually in the Public Health Outcomes Framework which is available at the following link:
