World Suicide Prevention Day
The motion
That the Parliament notes that 10 September 2018 is World Suicide Prevention Day, which is an awareness raising day organised by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and the World Health Organization (WHO); supports its aim of raising awareness that suicide is preventable; considers that the theme for 2018, which is working together to prevent suicide, will be a crucial part in ensuring that Scotland’s new Suicide Prevention Action Plan meets the aims of reducing Scotland’s suicide rate by at least 20%; notes that, in 2017, 680 people died in Scotland of suicide, and, to ensure that no one affected by suicide in Scotland is alone, urges the National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group to publish its delivery plan quickly.
