Hospitalisations as a result of self-harm in Worcestershire
Our data on hospital episodes is obtained from the Hospital Episode Statistics published by NHS Digital with an approximate 3 month delay. We use this data to determine pre-existing conditions and general health of individuals, but not to analyse recent hospitalisations due to specific causes. Therefore, we do not hold analysis showing the information that you have requested.
NHS Digital may be better placed to answer your queries. They can be contacted at enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk.
