2018, the former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Rt. hon. Jeremy Hunt
MP) announced a zero suicide ambition for the National Health Service, starting with
mental health inpatients. Every NHS mental health provider was required to put in
place a zero suicide policy during 2018/19. There has been significant progress made
by trusts in developing zero suicide plans, with regional suicide prevention leads
supporting trusts to finalise these.</p><p>For those requiring support for a mental
health problem, under the NHS Long Term Plan, there will be a comprehensive expansion
of mental health services, with an additional £2.3 billion in real terms by 2023/24.
This will give 380,000 more adults access to psychological therapies and 345,000 more
children and young people greater support in the next five years.</p>
