In Wales liver cancer in men has doubled over the past 10 years and for women the percentage increase in liver cancer numbers was as much as 70 per cent.<br \/>\nFor the first time research has confirmed just three alcoholic drinks a day can cause liver cancer. Chief Medical Officer for Wales, Dr Ruth Hussey said in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan\u2019s Alcohol Action Plan 2013-2016: \u201cAlcohol misuse is already one of the most serious public health challenges in Wales and there is a direct link between how much we drink and how much our health is jeopardised as a result.\u201d<br \/>\nAccording to a Public Health Wales report, almost half (47%) of adults in Cardiff and the Vale reported drinking above the recommended alcohol limits in a period of a week. Substance misuse in Wales caused 467 deaths in 2013 and an estimated 34,100 individuals were admitted to hospital with alcohol-attributable conditions. Nearly 3,000 people attended the Emergency Unit in Cardiff and the Vale alone with alcohol-related issues in 2010-11.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/beer-375974_640.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6893\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/beer-375974_640-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"beer-375974_640\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6893\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/beer-375974_640-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"beer-375974_640\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><br \/>\nAlcohol and class A drug use is estimated to cost Wales as much as \u00a32 billion a year in terms of its economic and social impact. Earlier this month Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething announced the Welsh Government will be investing more than \u00a350 million in programmes to tackle drug and alcohol misuse over the next year.<br \/>\nThe Deputy Minister made the announcement during a visit to the Footsteps to Recovery Service, a unique substance misuse service in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, which is the first of its kind in Wales to offer both care and aftercare. More than \u00a322 million will be invested into the Welsh Government\u2019s 10-year strategy, Working Together to Reduce Harm, which is aimed at tackling the harms associated with the misuse of alcohol, drugs and other substances.<br \/>\nMore than \u00a35 million will be invested in improving the capacity, access and quality of treatment facilities across Wales through the creation of multi-agency bases, residential treatment, detoxification centres, youth facilities and day centres. A further \u00a317 million has been ring-fenced in health boards\u2019 budgets for substance misuse services, bringing the total Welsh Government investment in 2015-16 to almost \u00a350m.<br \/>\nMr Gething said: \u201cThe misuse of drugs, alcohol or other substances is still one of the most devastating ways in which people can harm themselves, their families and the communities in which they live. We are determined to tackle it. \u201cThe \u00a350m we will invest in programmes to tackle drug and alcohol abuse over the next year demonstrates our clear commitment to reducing the harm caused by substance misuse.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just three alcoholic drinks a day can increase the chance of liver cancer a report by the World Cancer Research Fund showed on Wednesday.
