Subject: Official Information request - Statistics on suicide attempts/serious self harm in individuals who have had contact with Emergency Psychiatric Services

Dear Southern District Health Board,

I am looking for the following information omitted by your recent report on adverse events at the SDHB:

1. In 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16, how many people were admitted or treated by medical staff for a suicide attempt or severe self harm event at Dunedin Hospital who had been in contact with Emergency Psychiatric Services within one month prior?

2. In 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16, how many people were admitted or treated by medical staff for a suicide attempt or severe self harm event at Dunedin Hospital who had been in contact with Emergency Psychiatric Services within one week prior?

3. In 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16, how many people were admitted or treated by medical staff for a suicide attempt or severe self harm event at Dunedin Hospital who had been in contact with community mental health teams within one month prior?

4. In 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16, how many people were admitted or treated by medical staff for a suicide attempt or severe self harm event at Dunedin Hospital who had been in contact with community mental health teams within one week prior?

Please present this information in a table or spreadsheet for simpler interpretation by the public. Failure to respond within the required time period under the Official Information Act will result in me contacting the ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,
Scout Barbour-Evans (on behalf of Stop the Cuts to Southern Mental Health)
