Abstract

The importance of establishing case registers for suicide is discussed along with their potential uses. Suicide data can be derived from the coroner, the District Health Authority or the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). The relative merits of these different data sources are discussed and local methods described. Some data derived from the suicide register are shown.
