It is obtained from numerous sources, ranging from government departments to drug and alcohol treatment agencies. Ambulance data are obtained from Turning Point’s Ambo Project: Alcohol and Drug-Related Ambulance Attendances.

This information provides a convenient statistical and epidemiological resource for policy planners, drug service providers, health professionals and other key stakeholders. The data and maps build on and update information previously provided in text format, deliver the most recent data available and provide a monitoring tool for alcohol and drug trends.
