Is it true that NZs highest cause of youth death is now suicide ?

Jason McIntosh made this Official Information request to Child & Youth Mortality Review Committee

The request was successful.

From: Jason McIntosh

Dear Child & Youth Mortality Review Committee,

I learnt from Radio NZ News Media that NZs main cause of death in youth is suicide . Is this factual?
Is it also true that the majority of these self inflicted deaths occur mainly in the more impoverished areas ?
What are our suicide statistics ? How are we now ranked in the world ?

Yours faithfully,

Jason McIntosh
