A brief update for you today about a
meeting I had yesterday morning with Samaritans. We met to
discuss current and future priorities and how we might work
together on suicide prevention, at both national and local level,
particularly in the context of the new structures for Public Health
and Health and Well Being Boards.
We are already involved in Samaritans’
Call to Action campaign, and we are considering how we can
support their forthcoming work on confidentiality issues and the
work of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self-harm
Prevention, for which Samaritans provides secretariat
assistance. We will also be finding out more about how some
psychiatrists are providing advice and support to their local
Samaritans branches.
