Abstract

The impact of drug and alcohol misuse has been the subject of widespread media discussion in the past year, particularly in the context of restricted alcohol trading hours in an effort to reduce alcohol-fuelled violence. A recent study evaluating NSW Health's drug and alcohol consultation liaison (CL) services1 demonstrates how pervasive drug and alcohol problems are, and the impact they have on the health system. This paper highlights how expanding CL services to fill current unmet need could deliver a range of benefits to patients and hospitals.

摘要

在过去一年里，药物和酒精滥用的影响一直是媒体广泛讨论的话题，尤其是在限制酒精交易时间以减少酒精引发的暴力行为的背景下。最近一项评估新南威尔士州卫生部门药物和酒精咨询联络（CL）服务的研究表明了药物和酒精问题是多么普遍，以及它们对卫生系统的影响。本文强调了扩大CL服务以满足当前未得到满足的需求如何能给患者和医院带来一系列益处。
