Improve the collection, quality and interoperability of alcohol harms data as a matter of urgency to inform decision-making and improve health outcomes
Good data requires availability of accurate data, consistency in collection and recording, and an understanding of what and why data is needed. Good data makes good policy possible. It provides policy makers with the information needed to inform the development of good policy and allows more precise evaluation of the policy. Alcohol policy is informed by police, hospitals and ambulance data, however there are significant gaps in the collection of this data. Alcohol harm data should be collected routinely in a consistent manner throughout the state, in a form that allows the data from different data sets to “talk” to each other, and be made publicly available to provide transparency and accountability. Improving the collection, quality and interoperability of this data will lead to better health outcomes across a range of measures and should be a priority for the government.
