To ask the Scottish Executive how many laboratory tests directly connected with alcohol misuse were carried out in NHS Tayside in each of the last three years for which information is available.
Answer
This information is not held centrally. Previous estimates of the number of laboratory tests directly connected with alcohol misuse in Scotland have been based on the number of GP consultations for alcohol misuse derived from Practice Team Information (PTI). The small number of participating PTI practices prevents analysis at health board level.
Based on an estimate of 130,250 GP consultations connected to alcohol misuse in 2006-07, and assuming two laboratory tests per consultation, the Cost of Alcohol Use and Misuse in Scotland report estimated there to have been 260,250 laboratory tests in Scotland connected to alcohol misuse at a cost of £840,000.
