Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many inquests have been undertaken following a person taking their own life while in the care of (a) the NHS and (b) private mental health facilities in each of the last 10 years; how many of those inquests resulted in a change of leadership at the facility in question; and if he will make a statement.

The Ministry of Justice collects and publishes annual data on coroners’ inquest conclusions including the number of suicide conclusions but it does not collect data about the location of suicides or any follow up action. The annual coroner statistics are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/coroners-and-burials-statistics
