Suicide
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether she plans to reinstate funding to the Support After Suicide Partnership.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
We recognise the importance of suicide bereavement services and acknowledge the difficult financial position for many voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations.
Commissioning responsibility for local suicide bereavement services sits with integrated care boards and it is for them to commission appropriate services for their local population while considering their overall financial position.
