New “real time” suicide figures are published today by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, taking us up to Feb 2024.
The findings are striking.
Because after a reported rise in Jan, rates for Feb are back down. In fact, lower than any rate since data collection began 2yrs ago.
How to explain this?

In my local pharmacy, got into discussion about restrictions on analgesic sales.
One thing led to another.
Turns out sales person has just become a Samaritan.
#Suicideprevention is a whole society issue.

We’re in pre-election “purdah”. Rules are clear, civil servants can’t go ahead with public-facing meetings. Same rules apply to me as Govt adviser on #suicideprevention .
It’s an important element of civil service impartiality.
Sorry about cancellations. See you on other side.

As a Manchester United fan/member: he has always responded with absolute honesty & dignity. 2 trophies in 2 yrs - he should be given longer.
Imagine if academics were expected to meet these standards?
