The National Self-Harm Registry Ireland is a system that records and reports information about self-harm presentations to hospital Emergency Departments across the country. By providing such information as the number of self-harm presentations annually, when the presentations happen, what type of self-harm is involved, and which areas and groups have the highest rates, the Registry helps improve services for people who self-harm and informs prevention efforts.
