	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2024 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>National Highways understand that suicide is not inevitable, it is preventable, with the vision that no one attempts to take their life on our roads. National Highways uses its Post Collision Fatal Reporting (PCFR) process to internally report fatal incidents, including suspected suicides on the Strategic Road Network. However, unless a coroner rules National Highways does not know if these numbers are correct and the coronial process can take many months to complete. National Highways therefore cannot be confident that every suspected suicide recorded was a confirmed suicide. Unvalidated operational data from PCFR covering the period of 2016 – 2024 is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of Suspected Suicides</p></td><td><p>Comments</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>From May onwards</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>41</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>39</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>59</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022</p></td><td><p>59</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2023</p></td><td><p>59</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2024</p></td><td><p>56</p></td><td><p>Up to November 28th</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Nottingham South answering member printed Lilian Greenwood question first answered 02/12/2024 16:59:30 answering member 4029 label Biography information for Lilian Greenwood
