How many deaths by suicide there have been in each year since 2011, broken down by (a) gender, (b) age and (c) local authority area.

Statistics on Probable Suicides (Deaths which are the Result of Intentional Self-harm or Events of Undetermined Intent) are published annually on the National Records of Scotland website. The following workbook contains trends by gender (worksheet 1), age-group (worksheet 3) and local authority (worksheet 5). http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files//statistics/probable-suicides/suicides-2015-all-tables.xlsx
New coding rules were introduced by NRS in 2011, and the workbook contains figures from 2011 onwards based on both old and new coding. Any comparisons with suicides before 2011 should be based on old coding rules. Further information about the classification of suicide deaths is available on the following webpage: http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/statistics-and-data/statistics/statistics-by-theme/vital-events/deaths/suicides/the-definition-of-the-statistics
