Suicide statistics

Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust did not have the information requested.

Dear Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust,
I am doing a project for NHS London regarding suicide prevention In London.

I am looking at 10 year suicide rates in every London Trust.
I need the following information:
1] Suicide rates for inpatients from 2000 - 2010.
2] Suicide rates for outpatients from 2000 - 2010.
3] Demographic data for these suicides (age, ethnicity, gender, diagnosis of psychiatric condition, previous suicide attempts, risk factors for suicide, treatment)

Yours faithfully,

Muffazal Rawala

Dear inquirer,

Thank you for your FOI request.

Please direct your request to Professor Louis Appleby at:

Professor Louis Appleby
PO Box 86
Manchester M20 2EF
UK

Professor Appleby manages the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide (as I expect you are aware), and his research team gather the information that you are requesting.

We have reported any suicides whilst in treatment to this research team. This is a very rare event for this Trust which provides child and adolescent mental health and adult psychotherapy services on an outpatient basis.

We do not hold 10-year data on this event.

Yours sincerely,
FOI Officer
Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
