Dear Lee,

I refer to your request for number of suicide cases in the 18 districts
made under the Code on Access to Information on 2 October 2017.  Our reply
is provided below.

This department compiles the annual suicide death statistics of Hong Kong
based on the known death cases occurred in the reference year, which have
registered with the Immigration Department and are confirmed suicide
cases.  

The requested figures of suicide deaths by District Council district
(place of residence) are not readily available.  However, we can compile
the required statistics for the last five years based on the registered
death records for you at a charge.  The charge is set to cover all
additional staff efforts, computer time and material costs incurred in
preparing the tailor-made statistical table.  The estimated charge
required is around HK$150.

Should you require the chargeable tabulation service mentioned above,
please send the detailed requirements by email to the Demographic
Statistics Section (1) of this department (Email:
[email address]).  We will then send you the quotation and
other service details for your consideration.

With best regards,

Patrick Lam
Statistician (Statistical Information Services)1
