@natachakennedy@wesstreeting@Keir_Starmer V. irresponsible to link suicides to a single cause like this. Doing that can encourage MORE attempts.
See any decent media training on suicide & Samaritans guidelines.

There is a Westminster Hall debate tomorrow on provision of healthcare support services in the period between conception and age two.
