North Yorkshire Alcohol JSNA - 2022
In England, among people aged 15 to 49 years, alcohol is the leading cause of ill-health, disability, and death. Alcohol misuse across the UK is a significant public health problem with major health, social and economic consequences, estimated at between £21 and £52 billion a year. Each year there are over 1 million admissions to hospital for alcohol-related conditions.
The UK Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) advise that to keep the risk from alcohol low, adults should not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week. Alcohol adversely affects health in a range of ways and there is no definitively ‘safe’ lower limit – no level of regular alcohol consumption improves health.
Multiple studies on parental alcohol misuse (PAM) show it has significant negative effects on children’s physical and mental well-being. The Government’s 2012 Alcohol Strategy made no mention of children affected by PAM. Subsequent guidance published by Public Health England (PHE) in 2013 and the Department for Education in 2015 recognised the need to support children affected by PAM.
