The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes suicide statistics for the UK for each calendar year. The latest available figures were published by ONS in September 2018 and covered calendar years up to 2017[1].<\/p>

Table 1 below provides the number of deaths caused by suicide in firefighters of a working age (20-64 years old) based on information attained on the death certificate. Please note, data on firefighters in managerial roles has also been provided but this category also includes senior officers in ambulance, prison and related services.<\/p>

[1]https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/suicidesintheunitedkingdom/2017registrations<\/a><\/p>

[2]Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). This includes all deaths from intentional self-harm for persons aged 10 years and over, and deaths where the intent was undetermined for those aged 15 years and over. The ICD codes used to select the deaths are show in Box 1.<\/p>

[3]Figures are for those aged 20 to 64 years based on usual working age. However, information from the death certificate does not ascertain if the individual was actively in work or retired.<\/p>

[4]Figures for England and Wales include the deaths of non-residents.<\/p>

[5]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\u2019s inquest, it can take months or even years for a suicide to be registered. More details can be found in the \u2018Suicides in the UK\u2019 statistical bulletin.<\/p>

[6]Occupations defined using the Standard Occupation Classification (v.2010). 'Fire service officers' are defined by SOC code 3313 and 'Senior officers in fire, ambulance and prison related services' are defined by SOC code 1173. For information on the classification hierarchy, follow the link below:<\/p>

Tackling climate change is a priority for this Government. There are regular discussions on climate and environment issues among Ministers, and next week the Secretary of State is hosting Ministerial colleagues to discuss how we can work together to strengthen UK ambition, and deliver transformative outcomes at the United Nations Climate Action Summit later this year. The Government has committed £5.8bn of International Climate Finance (ICF) from 2016-2021 to help developing countries tackle climate change. Since 2011 our ICF support has helped reduce or avoid 10.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-01T15:17:58.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Overseas Aid: Climate Change"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the role of UK aid in building co-operation with developing countries to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4682", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Pollard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luke Pollard"} ], "uin" : "248074"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1122521", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1122521/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The NHS Pathways License for NHS 111 providers requires that call handlers/health advisors receive 10 weeks\u2019 training, comprising a mix of classroom-based learning, supervised practice and four weeks\u2019 consolidated practice. Additionally, clinicians operating NHS Pathways are expected to receive 14 weeks\u2019 training, including additional learning, along with supervised and consolidated practice as a clinician. Staff must successfully pass through several competency gateways in their progression to independent practice. These include written and practical assessments as well as call audits during supervised practice.<\/p>

Once call handlers and clinicians start practising independently, they are then subject to on-going performance management and professional development. As all calls are recorded they are routinely audited as a requirement of the NHS Pathways License using standardised national performance benchmarks; with monthly feedback provided to call handlers on both positive elements and areas of improvement. <\/em><\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1585", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Hammond"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wimbledon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Hammond"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "246000"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-30T12:16:17.697Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS 111"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what training staff of the NHS 111 Service receive to ensure that all avenues of clinical assessment are considered before callers are signposted to the local Accident and Emergency Department.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4682", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Pollard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luke Pollard"} ], "uin" : "246579"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1121782", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1121782/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The NHS Pathways License for NHS 111 providers requires that call handlers/health advisors receive 10 weeks\u2019 training, comprising a mix of classroom-based learning, supervised practice and four weeks\u2019 consolidated practice. Additionally, clinicians operating NHS Pathways are expected to receive 14 weeks\u2019 training, including additional learning, along with supervised and consolidated practice as a clinician. Staff must successfully pass through several competency gateways in their progression to independent practice. These include written and practical assessments as well as call audits during supervised practice.<\/p>
