Over 50,000 cases of self harm in girls aged 10-14 have been presented to A&E departments over four years.
This comes as self-harm rates in younger females continue to rise, while the peak rate recorded for adolescent girls aged 15-19 years.
From 2020 to 2023 the number of occurences reported to hospitals rose by 239.
