Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many clinical diagnoses of alcoholism there have been for young people aged 20–24 in (1) 2019, (2) 2020, (3) 2021, (4) 2022, and (5) 2023.

We do not hold this data centrally, in the format requested. The Department publishes Estimates of alcohol dependent adults in England: Summary, which can be viewed on the GOV.UK website, in an online only format. This is an estimate of the number of adults who are dependent on alcohol, many of whom will have never received a clinical diagnosis of alcohol dependence by National Health Services, or by accessing alcohol treatment.
