<p>Government is committed to mental health support and suicide prevention. In September,
the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published the new <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-strategy-for-england-2023-to-2028"
target="_blank">Suicide prevention strategy for England</a> and launched the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-grant-fund-2023-to-2025"
target="_blank">Suicide Prevention Grant Fund</a> which makes available £10 million

integrated care boards (ICBs) to plan services to meet the needs of their communities,
including deciding how much funding they provide for mental health services.</p><p>
