Mr. Ivan Lewis: Information on the number of Child Trust Fund vouchers issued and the number of accounts opened is published quarterly on the HMRC website (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/child_trust_funds/child-trust- funds.htm). The latest set of figures was published on 31 August.

Customs confirm that since April 2004, there have been 14 deployment exercises to Northern Ireland. Most deployments consist of two dogs, able to detect drugs and cash. Two of the deployments were for drugs and tobacco.

Drug/Alcohol Deaths

Mr. Burstow: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many deaths of people aged (a) under 18 and (b) over 18 years in (i) London and (ii) each London borough there have been where the use of (A) heroin/morphine, (B) ecstasy, (C) amphetamines, (D) other substances and (E) alcohol was recorded as the cause in each year since 1997. [18650]

19 Oct 2005 : Column 1076W

John Healey: The information requested falls with the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Karen Dunnell to Mr. Paul Burstow, dated 19 October 2005:

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many deaths of people (a) under 18 and (b) over 18 years in (i) London and (ii) each London borough where the use of (A) heroin/morphine, (B) ecstasy, (C) amphetamines, (D) other misuse of substances and (E) alcohol was recorded as the cause there have been in each year since 1997. (18650)

Relevant figures are only readily available for deaths where the underlying cause was either related to drug poisoning or directly related to alcohol (alcohol abuse, dependence and poisoning, and diseases directly related to alcohol use, such as chronic liver disease and cirrhosis). It is not possible to identify from death certificates which substance was the primary cause when more than one was involved.

There were three deaths from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis among those aged under 18 in Greater London in the period 1997 to 2004, and none from other causes linked to alcohol using the ONS definition. Examination of the certificates suggests that these three deaths were not in fact alcohol-related.

There were 14 deaths involving drug misuse among residents of Greater London aged under 18 in the period 1997 to 2003, with fewer than five deaths in each of the categories requested (heroin/morphine, ecstasy, and amphetamines). In order to maintain confidentiality of information supplied to ONS by coroners for statistical purposes only, precise numbers cannot be provided for this age group.

For alcohol-related deaths, figures for those aged 18 and over are provided in Table 1 below by individual year of registration of death. For drug-related poisoning deaths, figures for those aged 18 and over are provided in Table 2. For reasons of confidentiality, these drug-related poisoning data, have been provided for rolling five-year periods and figures have been suppressed where necessary.

It should be noted that:

The figures for alcohol-related deaths include the long-term effects of alcohol use. Such as cirrhosis of the liver, whereas the figures for drugs all relate to poisoning from drug use.

Deaths from poisoning which involved both drugs and alcohol are coded as being due to drug poisoning, in accordance with international rules for coding cause of death.

The figures on alcohol include only those where the underlying cause was alcohol related. The figures on specific drugs include any mention of the substance where the death was related to drug poisoning.

The figures on alcohol are for deaths registered in the calendar year and are based on the original underlying cause of death. The figures on drugs are for deaths occurring in the calendar year and are based on the final underlying cause of death and confidential additional information supplied by coroners to ONS.

For these reasons the figures provided for drug-related poisoning and alcohol-related deaths are not comparable.

⁽²⁸⁾ For the years 1997–2000 the cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 291, 303, 305.0, 425.5, 571, E860. For the years from 2001 onwards the cause of deaths was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes F10, 142.6, K70, K73, K74, X45.
Deaths were selected using the original underlying cause.
The selection of codes to define alcohol-related deaths is described in:
Baker A. and Rooney C. (2003). Recent trends in alcohol-related mortality, and the impact of ICD-10 on the monitoring of these deaths in England and Wales, Health Statistics Quarterly" 17. pp 5–14.
