Thank you for your enquiry.
Our annual Suicides in England and Wales publication provides the number of deaths from suicide by local authority for 2001 to 2022.
Further analysis on this topic would need to be created as a custom output. Information on the number of suicides of people usually resident in Dorset, along with other special extracts and tabulations of births data for England and Wales are available to order, subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs in line with our Charging Policy.
Please note, it is unlikely that we will be able to provide a break down by both age and sex due to the risk of disclosure, however we can discuss alternative options to help meet your needs.
Please contact Health.Data@ons.gov.uk for more information.
