Hi Jai

 

Your requests have been passed onto me to respond to. 

 

I’ve attached a spreadsheet which have publicly funded hospital discharges
(total and those with an intentional self-harm code reported) by age group
and month from Jan 2017 to Jun 2021.  I’d note that 2020 and 2021 is
incomplete at this time, though I wouldn’t expect many of the missing
records to affect the intentional self-harm data.

 

I’ve attached a second spreadsheet which has death registrations with a
date of death between Jan 2017 and Jun 2021.  This data excludes infant
deaths from 2020 onwards as we have not yet finished our data quality work
around the unregistered deaths in 2020, and this often has a large impact
on infant death numbers.

 

I hope this helps.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

 

Cheers

Years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 in NZ
Hospitalisations by month by any cause.
Deaths by month by any cause.

If there's a breakdown by age, that would be appreciated.
If a benchmark 5 year average exists, I'd like that too.

 

 

I'm looking for the Intentional self-harm hospitalisations in New Zealand
data from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 under the OIA. I see the 2020
data has been released but would like the others mentioned too. Thanks
