We publish tables on the number of Suicide by Local Authority alongside the annual Suicides in the UK bulletin, this includes a breakdown by registration year for Devon and Cornwall. Unfortunately, this does not include a breakdown of age.

Special extracts and tabulations of mortality data for England and Wales are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries should be made to: mortality@ons.gov.uk. We recommend that you contact the Mortality Analysis team directly in order to discuss your data requirements in more detail.
