Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people (a) attempted to take and (b) took their own lives at Foston Hall Prison, Derbyshire, was in each of the last five years.

Information on all deaths in prison custody and self-harm incidents, including at HMP Foston Hall, can be found in the Safety in Custody statistics which are published quarterly at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/safety-in-custody-statistics.

NOMS does not record ‘attempted suicide’ as a category of incident as the intention of the prisoner may not be known reliably.
