Northern Ireland Registry of Self-Harm Western Area. Supplement 2: Recommended Next Care Following Hospital Treated Self-Harm in the Western Area of Northern Ireland, 2007-2012

In February 2015 the Public Health Agency (PHA) launched a six year review on the incidence of self-harm in the Western Health & Social Care Trust (WHSCT) area of Northern Ireland (NI). This was the fourth report to emerge from the Northern Ireland (NI) Registry of Self-Harm and the first to report on long-term trends (2007 to 2012). A copy of the full report can be accessed at: http://www.publichealth.hscni.net/publications/northern-ireland-registry-self-harm-western-area-six-year-summary-report-2007%E2%80%932012

A series of supplements, each looking at a particular aspect of hospital-treated self-harm, was planned to accompany this six-year report. Supplement 1 focused on the issue of repetition of self-harm.

This supplement (Supplement 2) explores the recommended next care of hospital-treated self-harm in the WHSCT area.
