Following this assessment, the department found that this approach would be both prohibitively expensive and would offer poor value for money.</p><p>The current arrangements, whereby support is provided by local authorities, transport providers, schools and colleges, alongside the 16-19 Bursary Fund, are the most cost effective solutions, and they enable local government and other organisations to tailor support in the most appropriate way according to local circumstances and needs.</p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 02/03/2020 16:47:25 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan

England</p><p><strong>Footnotes</strong></p><p>1 The National Statistics definition of suicide is given in the 'Guidance' worksheet.</p><p>2 Figures are for persons aged 10 years and over.</p><p>3 Age-specific suicide rate per 100,000 population.</p><p>4 The lower (LCL) and upper (UCL) 95% confidence limits have been provided. These form a confidence interval, which is a measure of the statistical precision of an estimate and shows the range of uncertainty around the estimated figure. Calculations based on small numbers of events are often subject to random fluctuations. As a general rule, if the confidence interval around one figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures.</p><p>5 Age-specific rates were not calculated where there were fewer than 3 deaths and these are marked with “:” to inform the users that the rate has been suppressed. It is our best practice not to calculate rates based on such small numbers, as they are imprecise and susceptible to inaccurate interpretation. Age-specific rates based on 3 to 19 deaths are marked with a “u” to warn users that their reliability is low.</p><p>6 The area is based on the persons usual residence as provided by the informant upon registration in England and Wales. Figures for England and Wales separately (area codes E92000001 and W92000004 respectively) exclude death of non-residents and are based on the latest available postcode boundaries (May 2021).</p><p>7 Figures are for deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring in each calendar year. Due to the length of time it takes to complete a coroner’s inquest, it can take months or even years for a suicide to be registered.
