§ Mrs. Iris RobinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what estimate he has made of the number of suicides that took place in Northern Ireland in 2003. [148952]
§ Mr. PearsonMortality statistics for 2003 have not been fully collated and therefore the latest available data relate to 2002. In 2002, there were 162 deaths registered in Northern Ireland due to "suicide and self-inflicted injury" and 21 deaths due to "undetermined injury whether accidentally or purposefully inflicted".
