Suicide Incidence: Statements.
These figures do not include funding provided by other Departments such as the Departments of Education and Science, the Environment and Local Government and Justice, Equality and Law Reform which were identified in the report of the national task force on suicide as having a role to play in suicide prevention. The health strategy, Quality and Fairness – A Health System for You, includes a commitment to intensify the existing suicide prevention programmes in the coming years. The Government is fully committed to ensuring further investment takes place in this area. Additional funding has been allocated this year to the Irish Association of Suicidology, an organisation concerned with raising public awareness of suicide prevention issues.
