Suicide deaths during COVID-19 lockdown

Office for National Statistics did not have the information requested.

Dear Office for National Statistics,
I am writing to you to make a Freedom of Information Request regarding the increase in percentage of suicide deaths during the lockdown for COVID-19, compared to before this period and the amount of suicide deaths in total during this period. This runs from from 23rd March- 4th July 2020. If possible, could I also have a comparison between deaths from Coronavirus and deaths from suicide during this period as well.

Yours faithfully,
Daniel Murr
