There is a wide range of injury data available for the New Plymouth District.
New Plymouth Injury Safe Trust summarise as much data as possible in a convenient form every five years and call it the New Plymouth District Community Based Injury Prevention Needs Assessment. The purpose of the Needs Assessment is to identify patterns of injury in New Plymouth District and to inform future injury prevention priorities and action. The latest Needs Assessement was completed in September 2015 thanks to the generous sponsorship of TSB Community Trust.
Due to technological advances much of the data contained within the needs assessment documents can now be updated directly from source websites. The links to those websites are provided on this page.
In the Reports and Resources section on this page our Injury Prevention Needs Assessment and other injury data reports not directly published on other websites will be posted from time to time.
