Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many and what proportion of local authorities have a suicide prevention strategy.
This question was answered on 4th December 2015
The information requested is not collected centrally.
However, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention published an Inquiry into Local Suicide Prevention Plans in England (January 2015). The Inquiry included a survey of local authorities by the APPG, which indicated that 70% of local authorities have a suicide prevention plan and 60% have a multi-agency suicide prevention group.
