</p><p><em>Notes: </em></p><p> </p><p>- Admissions do not represent the number of
inpatients as a person may have more than one admission in one year; and</p><p> </p><p>-
a patient may have attended Accident and Emergency (A&E) and then been admitted
to hospital as a single event, in this case the event would be included in both the
A&E and hospital admission figures.</p><p> </p><p>Analysis of how these statistics
compare with the rest of Europe has not been made.</p><p>Data is not collected on
the incidence of self-harm among boys and girls aged under 18 nor those who continue
to self-harm in adulthood.</p><p> </p>
