 The article discusses the alarming rates of alcohol-related liver disease in England, particularly among certain regions and demographics. According to a new map created by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), areas with high rates of emergency admissions for alcohol-related liver disease include Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, and parts of Yorkshire. The data reveals that between April 2013 and March 2014, over 11,000 adults were admitted to hospitals in England due to alcohol-related liver disease. This represents an increase from previous years, with some areas experiencing higher admission rates than others. The HSCIC map highlights the need for targeted interventions and public health campaigns to address this growing issue.
