Office for National Statistics
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes an annual bulletin in the autumn of each year, reporting the number of deaths that have been registered as a suicide in the previous year, in England and Wales. These registrations follow a coroner’s inquest. Statistics are available from 1981 to 2024
In 2024, 436 suicides* were registered for Wales. This compares to 78 deaths due to road collisions**
In 2024, Wales had the highest rates of suicide across England regions and Wales. The lowest rates were in London.
This data reflects death registrations and not the year in which the death may have occurred.
