Request for Tower Hamlets Suicide Statistics

The request was partially successful.

Dear Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust (PCT),

I am writing to request a detailed breakdown of the number of people who have committed suicide in Tower Hamlets over the past ten months. I would also like to compare these results to figures from previous years. My preferred format to receive this information is electronically, preferably as a data set, eg. in Excel, NOT as a PDF, but if that is not possible I can accept hard copies or inspect a record.

Specifically I would like to know the following:

1. How many people have committed suicide in Tower Hamlets since January 2012 to the present day?

2. How many people have committed suicide in Tower Hamlets since January 2009 to the present day?

Please could you then provide all statistical data you hold relating to suicides going back from January 2009 to whatever date is reasonable?

I appreciate that it may not be possible to provide all the above listed information however I would be grateful to receive whatever information you have available and signposting towards other organisations who may hold the relevant data.

If the decision is made to withhold some of this data using exemptions in the Data Protection Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.
If some parts of this request are easier to answer than others, I would ask that you release the available data as soon as possible.

I understand under the act, I am entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

Many thanks,

E Austin
