Every local area is required to have a multi-agency suicide prevention plan in place to implement tailored approaches to reducing suicides in their communities. We expect multi-agency groups to include all relevant organisations and professionals who may come into contact with someone at risk of suicide such as social care services and social workers. Guidance published by Public Health England on developing suicide prevention plans, Local suicide prevention planning: A practice resource, sets out how local data collections are important in developing effective action plans to reduce suicides and that data should be collected across a wide range of services including social care: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/suicide-prevention-developing-a-local-action-plan<\/a><\/p>

Building the homes our country needs is an absolute priority for this government. The name change for the department reflects this government\u2019s renewed focus to deliver more homes and build stronger communities across England.<\/p>

Any necessary changes will be done in a cost-efficient way with expenditure being kept to a minimum. This would of course be a fraction of the cost of splitting up the Ministry as proposed by the opposition.<\/p>

Sprinklers can be an effective fire safety measure but they are one of many such measures that can be adopted. It is for building owners to decide whether to fit sprinklers, on the basis of their assessment of the risk. Government advice is clear; for new blocks of flats over 30 metres in height the statutory guidance states that sprinklers should be fitted. For existing buildings it is a decision for the building owner whether to retro-fit sprinklers as part of a whole fire-safety strategy for the building, based on expert advice and taking into account of other fire safety measures present.<\/p>
