12 Nov 2008
The NHS is spending twice as much on drugs to treat alcoholism as a decade ago, official figures show.
The National Health Service now spends just under £2.25 million on the medication, up from £1.08 million in 1998.
The figures were revealed in a parliamentary answer to James Brokenshire, the Tory MP for Hornchurch.
Most of the money has been spent on two drugs, Antabuse and Campral.
