One in every 160 teen girls received hospital treatment after self-harming
Almost half of people who present in accident and emergency wards with deliberate self-harm are under the age of 30 but the group most likely to self-harm is women aged 15-19.
About 11,000 cases of self-harm were presented at hospitals last year these cases involved 8,600 people meaning that a significant number of people deliberately self-harmed more than once.
