UK considers 'drunk tanks' to ease strain on health services

LONDON (AP) - British health officials are considering turning to so-called
drunk tanks to ease the strain on emergency rooms and ambulance services
caused by heavy drinkers.

NHS England said Friday that researchers are looking at whether Alcohol
Intoxication Management Services, commonly known as drunk tanks, may be
rolled out on a national level. They are already used in some cities.

NHS England chief Simon Stevens says heavy drinking is diverting resources
needed by sick people.

"NHS doesn't stand for 'National Hangover Service,'" he said.

He says it is wrong for health workers to devote precious time to people who
"just need somewhere to safely sleep it off."

Officials estimate that 12 percent to 15 percent of emergency room visits
are due to acute alcohol intoxication, with figures much higher on weekend
nights.

It's an excellent idea, though it's taken an awful long time for the
authorities here to catch on. Fairytale of New York was released in
1987 after all.

The NHS urgently needs protection from people who are ****ed.

And they should be charged for the privilege too. £200 would seem to be
about right.

That's a reasonable idea worth exploring.
