You asked
Please could I request data surrounding alcohol-related hospital admissions in England on a monthly basis in each separate local authority. I would like data that only showed the wholly attributable conditions relating to alcohol.
I would like the value for only the total admissions for all wholly attributable conditions. If possible, I would also like a column that also includes the European Age-Sex Standardised Rates (EASR) per 100,000 population.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We are responsible for producing mortality statistics for England and Wales, this is driven by information collected from the death certificate at death registration.
We do not hold data on alcohol related hospital admissions as this information is not supplied on the death certificate. NHS Digital may be able to assist with the provision of hospital admissions data. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk.
Data on specific local areas can be accessed online through Office for Health Improvement & Disparities Local Area Profiles for England.
