The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the mid-term review of the Suicide Prevention Strategy will be published.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

Officials are reviewing the Suicide Prevention Strategy, including how best to present updates, acknowledging the successes of the strategy so far as well as re-invigorating cross-Government efforts to go further. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Women’s Health and Mental Health will continue to work with officials and ministerial counterparts across Government to raise the profile of delivering the actions in the suicide prevention strategy, drive progress, and foster collective responsibility around suicide prevention.
