<p>Published statistics for the period July 2014 to June 2015 show that 1,501 women
entered Yarl’s Wood immigration removal centre as the first place of detention. Provisional
management information for the same time period shows that there were 54 incidents
of self-harm requiring medical treatment at Yarl’s Wood that involved women.</p><p>These
numbers do not necessarily equate to the number of detainees requiring medical treatment.
An individual may have received medical treatment on more than one occasion, therefore
a maximum of 54 women could have received medical treatment for self harm, the equivalent
of 3.6% of the total female population that entered Yarl’s Wood for the specified
period.</p>
