Northern Ireland Self-harm Registry Regional Report, 2022/23 and 2023/24

The Self-Harm Registry collects data from hospital Emergency Departments across Northern Ireland in relation to attendances due to self-harm and/or thoughts of self-harm/suicide. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic data collection and production of reports has been delayed.   

The report published includes data for the years 2022/23 and 2023/24.   

The Registry has now collected data over a 10 year period and the report includes trends since establishment of the Registry in 2012/13.

The purpose of the Registry is to improve understanding about the issues of self-harm and ideation, monitor trends over time and, most importantly, help shape the development of services and support to meet the needs of people experiencing these difficult issues.
