To our knowledge no previous studies have been conducted at the local authority level assessing relationships between alcohol-related hospital admission, specialist alcohol treatment provision and socioeconomic deprivation since the UK government passed the Health and Social Care Act in 2012. Our results, using publicly available national data-sets, suggest that the local authority areas in England most in need of adequately funded specialist alcohol treatment, because of high prevalence of alcohol dependence and deprivation, are not receiving targeted increased funding, and that the national rise in alcohol-related hospital admissions may be fuelled by local authority funding cuts to specialist alcohol treatment.
据我们所知，自英国政府于2012年通过《健康与社会关怀法案》以来，此前尚未在地方当局层面开展过评估酒精相关住院治疗、专科酒精治疗服务提供与社会经济剥夺之间关系的研究。我们利用公开可得的全国数据集得出的结果表明，由于酒精依赖和贫困的高患病率，英格兰最需要获得充足资金用于专科酒精治疗的地方当局地区，并未得到针对性的资金增加，而且全国酒精相关住院人数的上升可能是由于地方当局削减了对专科酒精治疗的资金投入。
