Royal College of Physicians Comment On Alcohol-Related Hospital Admissions, UK

Posted by with 4 comments
Professor Ian Gilmore , RCP President and a liver expert, responded to the latest compendium of figures released recently by The Information Centre:

"The doubling in alcohol-related hospital admissions over a decade is both stark and frightening, but it chimes with physicians' everyday clinical experience. While statistics on heart disease and cancer improve, health damage from alcohol misuse stands out uniquely in getting worse.

"NHS alcohol services remain woefully inadequate across the whole spectrum, from early detection of hazardous drinkers to treatment of severe dependence, but the solution of funding them is in our grasp.

"Increased taxation on drink could be used to inject badly-needed resources into these services while at the same time making an important contribution, through reducing the nations consumption, to reducing the future burdon of ill-health."

An addiction is bad enough, but what is worse is that the addiction can drastically interfere with the normal working of an individual. A person does not realize this while he or she is getting addicted, but soon enough the addiction will begin taking toll on the work. Performance will begin sagging and attendance will start dwindling.
