The DoH statistics provide the rate of ED attendances per 1,000-population for each Super Output Area in the North in March 2025.
The ‘Journal’ has looked at the Derry figures and found some areas recorded much higher per capita rates than others.
Here is a breakdown of the areas with the highest attendances in descending order.
The names of the SOAs do not always correspond to the names by which areas are popularly known.
