I have a single question for the Minister. At a time of unprecedented public concern about suicide rates, the Reach Out national suicide prevention strategy seems to have expired. In March 2014, this committee was told that a new policy framework would be in place by November 2014. We are now into the fifth month of 2015 which makes the framework strategy seven months late. Could the Minister give the committee an update on the progress of this?
