Summary

Here’s a summary of the website content:

The North East region faces a significant public health challenge due to alcohol-related issues. Since 1970, deaths due to liver disease have risen by 400. In 2019-20, nearly 980,000 hospital admissions in England were linked to alcohol, with approximately 80% of weekend arrests and emergency attendance peaks related to alcohol. The issue costs the region almost £1.5 billion annually across healthcare, crime, the economy, and social care. There are over 600,000 dependent drinkers in England, and a substantial number (810,000) are not receiving treatment. Alcohol is the leading risk factor for death, ill-health, and disability for 15-49 year-olds nationally, and the fifth largest risk factor overall.
