Whilst funding beyond 2024/25 is subject to future Spending Reviews, we will consider further opportunities to build upon the £57 million we are investing into suicide prevention from 2019/20 to 2023/24 through the NHS Long Term Plan. Through this funding, all areas of the country are seeing investment to support local suicide prevention plans and the development of suicide bereavement services.
