No such assessment has been made, however we know that there are links between mental ill health and social factors like isolation and family breakdown and that men in certain age-groups are more likely to present with suicidal behaviour. Suicide continues to be more than three times as common in males than in females, 13.8 per 100,000 for males in 2011-13, compared to 4.0 for females.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

Preventing suicide in England: A cross-government outcomes strategy to save lives<\/em>, published in 2012, identified a number of high risk groups who are priorities for prevention young and middle-aged men. The strategy recognises that factors associated with suicide in men include family and relationship problems including marital breakup and social isolation. The strategy recognises that those who work with men in different settings, especially primary care, need to be particularly alert to the signs of suicidal behaviour.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

A review by the Samaritans, Men Suicide and Society<\/em>, published in 2012, also highlighted that middle-aged men in certain socioeconomic groups are at particularly high risk of suicide. It pointed to evidence that suicidal behaviour results from the interaction of complex factors, including a lack of close social and family relationships, personal crises such as divorce, as well as a general \u2018dip\u2019 in subjective wellbeing among people in their mid-years, compared to both younger and older people. The report also found that relationship breakdown is more likely to lead men, rather than women, to suicide and was published in February 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s first annual report on the suicide prevention strategy was published on 17 January 2014. It highlighted a new agreement designed to promote greater sharing of information with friends and family of people at risk of suicide. The second annual report into suicide prevention was written for people working in local services.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In January 2015, this Government called for every part of the National Health Service to commit to a 'zero suicide' ambition to dramatically reduce suicides. This goes beyond health service boundaries into the whole community, bringing in the police, education, housing, debt support services and so on.<\/p>

NHS England works in partnership with local commissioners and providers to ensure people with long-term conditions, such as hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), are supported to live healthily and independently and are empowered to take better control over the care they receive.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The majority of patients with HS can be managed through routine access to primary and secondary care, including dermatology clinics, which is responsibility of the local National Health Service commissioners. Treatment and management of the condition involves antibiotics, antiseptic washes and immunosuppressive treatments such as steroids or ciclosporin, which a general practitioner may prescribe.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

For those patients with the more serious forms of HS, referral to a specialised dermatology service may be appropriate. NHS England commissions services for people with rare and complex skin conditions, including HS, and has set out what providers must have in place in order to offer specialist dermatology care. This supports equity of access to a high quality service for patients wherever they live. These services may provide more intensive therapies with the involvement of a range of health and care professionals, subject to a patient\u2019s needs.

The Department and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence co-hosted a roundtable event to explore in depth the issues around the culture on unlicensed and off-label prescribing in general. Many stakeholders attended this including Breast Cancer Now, Cancer Research UK, Cure Parkinson\u2019s Trust, NHS England and numerous other National Health Service organisations.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

A number of areas were identified where further work could help improve matters, including:<\/p>

<\/p>

- supporting clinicians to identify the latest robust evidence on patient care and take it up in their own practice; and<\/p>

<\/p>

- supporting and mapping clear pathways for innovators and those who want to "re-purpose" drugs.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Officials have since been engaging with stakeholders to progress outputs associated with this event.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CCG made the decision to delay the public consultation after reviewing the range of evidence available to it, including findings from the Clinical Senate review, and will undertake further planning and analysis to help set out clearly to the public how it plans to realise its ambitions.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England will undertake a standard assurance process prior to consultation to ensure proposals are robust, feasible, sustainable, and comply with the four key tests, which are that proposals should demonstrate: support from clinical commissioners; strengthened public and patient engagement; clarity on the clinical evidence base; and support for patient choice.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are advised that the CCG plans to publically consult in 2016.<\/p>
