treatment 2.7 million people took an illicit drug in 2011-12 (about ¾
cannabis) 34% of men and 28% of women drank more than
recommended at least one day in the last week Some estimates suggest as many as 1.5 million dependent
on benzodiazepines 50 million anti-depressants prescribed (Health and Social
Care Information Centre)
