This factsheet examines the available alcohol data at Health Service Executive (HSE) regional health area (RHA) level. RHA’s are in line with recommendations made in the Sláintecare Report indicating that regional bodies be responsible for the planning and delivery of integrated health and social care services [5]. Although alcohol use is equally prevalent across Irish society, there may be some nuances in alcohol-related harm. As such, this factsheet provides an insight into the incidences of alcohol-related hospital discharges representing the pressure on acute services, to allow more effective service planning for RHAs.
