Every area in the country now has a local crisis care action plan in place which ensures that local agencies are working together to deliver support to people in a mental health crisis.</p><p> </p><p>We welcomed the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health recommendations for suicide prevention to reduce the national suicide rate by 10% by 2020/21, for all areas to implement multi-agency suicide prevention plans by 2017 and that all deaths by suicide across NHS-funded mental health settings, including out-of-area placements, are learned from to prevent repeat events.</p><p> </p><p>We have been clear that we expect local crisis care action plans to dovetail with multi-agency suicide prevention plans. My Rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health delivered this message at the Crisis Care Summit in October. Public Health England published refreshed guidance to local authorities, ‘Local Suicide Prevention Planning: A practice resource’ in October to support them in developing suicide prevention plans.
