<p>The information is not available in the format requested.</p><p> </p><p>Information
on the number of accident and emergency (A&E) attendances for 0-17 year olds,
with a patient group of deliberate self harm and with a primary care trust (PCT) of
treatment within Greater Birmingham in each of the last five years, is shown in the

</em></p><p><em>Notes:</em></p><p>1. Self-harm:</p><p>A&E Patient Group<strong>
- </strong>a code that indicates the reason for the A&E episode. Group 30 indicates
those attending because of intentional self-harm. There were no A&E attendances
recorded with a patient group for deliberate self-harm for Wolverhampton PCT in 2009-10.
Patient group is a non-mandatory field and nil entry may indicate that the PCT did
not submit any data for patient group for this year.</p><p>2. PCT of main provider:</p><p>This
indicates the PCT area within which the organisation providing treatment was located.
The following PCTs were identified as having an A&E department located within
Greater Birmingham:</p><p>5PG - Birmingham East and North PCT</p><p>5PE - Dudley PCT</p><p>5MX
- Heart of Birmingham Teaching PCT</p><p>5M1 - South Birmingham PCT</p><p>5M3 - Walsall
Teaching PCT</p><p>5MV - Wolverhampton City PCT</p><p>Data for Sandwell and Solihull
PCTs is not included due to the PCTs not submitting A&E data to Hospital Episodes
Statistics (HES) for the time period covered.</p><p> </p><p>3. PCT of treatment 2013-14
data:</p><p>Although PCTs ceased to exist after 31 March 2013, HES A&E data for
2013-14 still contains data for PCT of treatment. The relationship between providers
and their respective PCTs as at the end of 2012-13 has been propagated through to
2013-14 data to allow the relevant PCT to be reported, continuing a time series.</p><p>4.
Provisional data:</p><p>The data is provisional and may be incomplete or contain errors
for which no adjustments have yet been made. Counts produced from provisional data
are likely to be lower than those generated for the same period in the final dataset.
This shortfall will be most pronounced in the final month of the latest period, ie
November from the (month 9) April to November extract. It is also probable that clinical
data are not complete, which may in particular affect the last two months of any given
period. There may also be errors due to coding inconsistencies that have not yet been
investigated and corrected.</p><p>5. Accessing growth through time (A&E):</p><p>HES
figures are available from 2007-08 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need
to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage and
changes in National Health Service practice. For example, changes in activity may
be due to changes in the provision of care.</p><p>6. Official Source of A&E data:</p><p>HES
is not the official source of total A&E activity, this is the NHS England situation
reports collection:</p><p> </p><p>www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/ae-waiting-times-and-activity/</p><p>
</p><p>However, HES permits further analysis of A&E activity as there are a range
of data items by which HES can be analysed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><em>Source:
