Number of drug-related and drug-misuse deaths in Northern Ireland 2012-2022.
Correction notice: 05.03.25: After the publication of Drug-Related and Drug Misuse Deaths 2012-2022 on 31 January 2024, NISRA identified a classification error in the published figures. This resulted in the omission of pregabalin and gabapentin from drug misuse figures for 2020 to 2022. The impact of this correction is that the number of drug misuse deaths from 2020 to 2022 previously published has increased from 484 over the 3-year period to 494. The correct number of drug misuse deaths from 2020 to 2022 can be found in Drug-Related and Drug Misuse Deaths 2013-2023.
