Rehab News: Criticism over failure to prioritise alcohol treatment

NHS Lothian has been criticised for not providing enough support for alcohol treatment centres.

Former Wester Hailes GP and Lothians SNP MSP Dr Ian McKee told the Edinburgh Evening News that alcohol addiction had become a "silent epidemic".

Dr McKee was complaining after NHS Lothian was given the chance to select three or more specialist areas to receive more cash from the Scottish government but decided not to include alcohol treatment.

He told the paper: "Often GPs can prescribe drugs, but don't have time to spend having a proper talk. They will refer you to an alcohol treatment nurse, of which there are probably about four in Edinburgh. Then you get an appointment in three months or whenever, but if you are under the influence when you go, they won't see you.

"What is needed is a re-focusing of our efforts so that plans are laid to respond immediately a person asks for help."

Responding, NHS Lothian associate medical director Mike Winter said: "Alcohol-related services remain a priority for us and we are currently carrying out a review of our alcohol related services to determine where improvements can be made and to identify any gaps in the services we provide."

Alcohol misuse in older people 'under reported'

Studies into alcohol misuse tend to focus so much on younger people that misuse among older people is often described as a "hidden" area of research, Alcohol Concern has said.

Frank Soodeen, press and parliamentary officer at the national agency, said that older people tend to drink more regularly than younger people and that it is therefore vital that they seek treatment to help them address their underlying problems.

Crackdown on binge drinking in Fife

A region of Scotland is attempting to battle the high rates of anti-social behaviour due to alcohol abuse by introducing special exams in schools, according to the Courier.

Councillors in Fife are looking at a range of possible new measures to tackle binge drinking amongst youths in the region.

One of the suggested solutions is to introduce alcohol awareness exams in secondary schools.

The area of Levenmouth is just one in the district that is a victim of anti-social behaviour induced by irresponsible drinking among teenagers.

According to the paper, this often seems to be a symptom of boredom amongst the town's younger residents.

One 16-year-old told the paper: "Hanging about the streets is boring, but it's not boring when you're drunk."

A report published recently revealed that more than half of 13-year-olds and 78 per cent of 15-year-olds in Fife admitted to having been drunk at least once.

This has resulted in a number of new initiatives being introduced in the area to entertain young people, including under-18 discos and an inflatable football pitch.

Figures released last month revealed that over 400 under-15s were treated drink-related conditions in hospital between 2006 and 2007.
