Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 14 January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to tackle alcohol-related health inequalities in England.
Public Health England produces a suite of products on the Fingertips website that provide local data alongside national comparisons to support local health improvement and an intelligence-driven approach to understanding and meeting local need, including the Local Alcohol Profiles for England which is available at the following link:
https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/local-alcohol-profiles
The aim of these profiles is to provide information for local government, health organisations, commissioners and other agencies to monitor the impact of alcohol on local communities and to monitor the services and initiatives that have been put in place to prevent and reduce the harmful impact of alcohol.
Inequalities data are included wherever possible in order to allow organisations to assess the extent of variation in alcohol-related harm.
