Dear University of Manchester,
Please provide statistics on suicides in the following areas

Stockport
Oldham
Bury

Tameside

These are the areas where mental health services are provided by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust.

The data is held by the Centre for Mental Health and Safety.
The National Confidential Inquiry data covered the period from 2003 to 2013.
Please provide the data for each of the ten years for each area ie all suicides in each year, and patient suicides in each year.

Patients are classed as persons who have had contact with mental health services in the 12 months prior to death.

Please also provide the data for 2014, 2015 and 2016 if these figures are available.

Yours faithfully,

Yours faithfully,

G Davies

Dear Mary Clare,

Yes this request is addressed to the University of Manchester.

The data is held by The Centre for Mental Health and Safety (formerly Centre for Mental Health and Risk)

I believe there is a very strong public interest in releasing this information, as I suspect many people are dying unnecessarily each year due to a decline in the standard of care being provided in these areas.

Yours sincerely,

G Davies

Dear University of Manchester,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of University of Manchester's handling of my FOI request 'Statistics on patient suicides'.

The information provided is NOT what has been requested.

The request is for:-

Data held by the Centre for Mental Health and Safety relating to the geographical area covered by Pennine Care NHS Trust
The National Confidential Inquiry data covered the period from 2003 to 2013.
Please provide the data for EACH of the ten years for each area ie all suicides in EACH year, and patient suicides in EACH year.
Patients are classed as persons who have had contact with mental health services in the 12 months prior to death.
Please also provide the data for 2014, 2015 and 2016 if these figures are available.

So
There has been no request for a monthly breakdown
There has been no request for a breakdown by gender
There has been no request for a breakdown by age

For EACH YEAR from 2003 to 2016 how many patient suicides are there in the area covered by Pennine Care?
For EACH YEAR from 2003 to 2016 how many general population suicides are there in the geographical area covered by Pennine Care ?(it is understood there may be small discrepancies regarding the geographical area)

If the data is available and it is possible, please also supply the data broken into the Boroughs for EACH YEAR.
