A National Registry of Deliberate Self-Harm has been operating in general hospitals since 2001 and data is compiled and published on an annual basis by the National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF). The Registry had near complete coverage of hospitals for the period 2002 — 2005. In 2006 and 2007, data was collected from all general and paediatric hospitals.
The numbers of individuals treated for deliberate self-harm in hospital emergency departments since 2004 are set out in the following table:
