Hanging cases attended by North East Ambulance Service, 2020‐2024: a service evaluation
The number of hanging cases within the North East region continues to rise. The second evaluation included data recorded over the COVID-19 pandemic and national lockdown period and may suggest an increase in hanging attempts within vulnerable groups of patients. The data suggests a socio-economic link, which may account for the high numbers of hangings being recorded in the most deprived areas of the North East.
