Youngsters in Oxfordshire are among the least likely in the country to be admitted to hospital for drinking too much, according to official figures.

Statistics released by the Department of Health showed that 4,368 under-14s have needed drink-related medical treatment in England since 2005.

The North West was shown to be a hot spot for underage drinking, but Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Berkshire and the Isle of Wight saw the least number of hospital admissions.
