I am seeking the following data as tables from 2000 - 2023. If that is too much, I would like 2013 - 2023. a) The number of ACC firearm injury claims by year. b) The cost of ACC firearm injury claims by year. c) The number of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt (and whether non-fatal or fatal). d) The cost of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt (and whether non-fatal or fatal). e) The number of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt which resulted in permanent disablement. f) The number of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt which involved alcohol and/or drugs. g) the number of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt by age. h) the number of ACC firearm injury claims related to self-harm / suicide attempt by gender. If the above includes fatal / non-fatal injuries, I would like this broken down please.

As New Zealand redrafts its firearms legislation, it is important to know the impact and cost of firearm injuries. There are more suicides than homicides by firearm in NZ. Having further data will allow us to understand the extent of non-fatal self-harm injuries by firearm in NZ to inform policy recommendations and communication.

-providing information on the numbers, costs and trends in firearms and self-harm in NZ to a legal research team.
- to help understand the impact of firearms and self-harm ahead of the Arms Act rewrite in 2025.
