Alcohol consumption and related harm is increasing in Scotland, compared to falling trends seen in many other European countries. The treatment of alcohol problems has been identified as a high priority for the Scottish Government. There is however a lack of reliable information on the extent to which specialist alcohol treatment services in Scotland currently meet the level of need for treatment. This study was commissioned by the Scottish Association of Alcohol and Drug Action Teams (SAADAT) and funded by the Scottish Government to assess the level of need specialist alcohol treatment and to chart service capacity in Scotland. The main methodology for this study is that of ‘needs assessment’ which aims to estimate the gap between the number of people in the population in need of specialist treatment and the number who actually access treatment. Access to specialist alcohol treatment was estimated using a survey method. All agencies were surveyed using a standard postal survey tool, which included estimates of the number of alcohol patients who were offered an alcohol intervention during the 2006/2007 financial year. This was supplemented by a telephone interview with non-responders. The estimated number of people accessing alcohol treatment per annum in 2006/07 was approximately 17,000, taking account of referrals between agencies and the non-response rate from agencies. The Prevalence-Service Utilisation Ratio (PSUR) (the ratio of the number of people accessing treatment to the number in the population with alcohol dependence) was 1:12.1 for Scotland as a whole. This represents 8.2% of the in-need population accessing treatment per annum.

Despite a steeply rising trend in cases of dementia, the condition is being given too low a priority by health and social services in the UK. Too few people are being diagnosed, or being diagnosed early enough, and early interventions known to be cost-effective are not being made widely available. The PSSRU contributed to the research for this report and the summary report on international comparisons.
