The National Poisons Information Centre (NPIC) reports an increase in enquiries in 2025. It received 11,455 enquiries last year, representing a four per cent rise compared with 2024.
The NPIC is based at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin and fields enquiries from both medical and healthcare staff and members of the public. The figures are presented as the centre’s latest data on calls and information requests. Across the outlets, the core details—total enquiry volume and the percentage increase year-on-year—are consistent.
While coverage focuses on the headline increase, none of the sources provided here breaks down the reasons for the rise, changes in categories of poisonings, or geographic patterns. The reporting therefore centers on the overall demand for poison-related information and advice rather than on specific incident data.
