<p>There is a marked and significant difference in the alcohol-related mortality rates
between the most and least deprived local authorities in England. This inequality
gap has persisted over the previous seven years.</p><p>As an example of this inequality,
Public Health England observed a mortality rate of 84.6 (per 100,000) in Blackpool
(the most deprived local authority in England) in 2017, compared to a mortality rate
of 37.6 (per 100,000) in Hart (the least deprived local authority in England) for
the same period.</p><p>For the local authorities in both groups, there has been no
statistically significant change over the previous seven years, maintaining the inequality
gap. Data is available on the Local Alcohol Profiles for England at the following
