Abstract
More than 140 000 people present to hospital after an
episode of self harm each year in England and Wales.
Improving the general hospital management of these
people is a key area in preventing suicide. Although
professional consensus has been reached on how self
harm services should be organised and delivered,
wide variations in care delivery have been reported in
two regions in England. Using a nationally
representative sample, we investigated the variation in
services and delivery of care for self harm patients in
hospitals in England.
