Request
“1 You conclude in your report on MUP "an average of 156 wholly attributable deaths averted in Scotland per year" with rising wholly attributable death trends in both England and Scotland.
Please can you break down this numerical data of an annual average of 156 deaths to quarterly periods from May 2018 to December 2020. For May/June 2018 please provide the information for this 2 month period
So in total in the data you provide there will be 11 time periods showing a total of just over 400 deaths avoided during the 32 month time period compared to England where no MUP was implemented.
2 Please also provide the same data by calendar year, May 2018 to December 2018, 2019 and 2020. So in total there will be 3 time periods.
3 If you have similarly modelled relative alcohol deaths Scotland compared to Wales alone for the same time period please forward this same information. (MUP commenced in Wales in March 2020).”
