Northern Ireland Registry of Self-Harm Annual Report 2017-2018

The purpose of the registry is to improve understanding about self-harm and related behaviours in Northern Ireland. The information gathered will be used to monitor trends and patterns over time and, perhaps most importantly, will help shape the development of services and support to meet need. The information will also help provide trusts and the Department of Health, with a more accurate understanding of the impact of self-harm on Emergency Departments.
