Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has taken recent steps with Cabinet colleagues to help reduce the rate of suicide of men in the farming community.

Each and every suicide is a tragedy, with a devastating impact on families and communities and we are committed to doing all we can to prevent them.

The Secretary of State has regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues about a range of issues and we continue to work together across Government, and with experts, to review our plans and ensure they are fit for the future.

We are investing an additional £57 million in suicide prevention by 2023/24 through the NHS Long Term Plan. Through this, all areas of the country are seeing investment to support local suicide prevention plans and the development of suicide bereavement services.
