Presents data and analysis on suicides and homicides in the UK between 2003 and 2013, focusing on mental health. Suicide figures show different patterns across the UK countries, with higher rates in Scotland and Northern Ireland and a recent rise in England and Wales. Key messages include: the rise in suicide among male mental health patients appears to be greater than in the general population - suicide prevention in middle aged males should be seen as a suicide prevention priority; it is in the safety of crisis resolution/home treatment that current bed pressures are being felt – the safe use of these services should be monitored and providers and commissioners (England) should review their acute care services; opiates are now the most common substance used in overdose – clinicians should be aware of the potential risks from opiate-containing painkillers and patients’ access to these drugs; families and carers are a vital but under-used resource in mental health care – with the agreement of service users, closer working with families would have safety benefits; good physical health care may help reduce risk in mental health patients – patients’ physical and mental health care needs should be addressed by mental health teams together with patients’ GPs; sudden death among younger in-patients continues to occur, with no fall – these deaths should always be investigated and physical health should be assessed on admission and polypharmacy avoided.

The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) is an independent statutory body responsible for maintaining an effective and efficient police service for London. Its primary tasks include securing continuous improvement in the way policing is provided in London, monitoring the performance of the Metropolitan Police service (MPS) and consulting with the people of London. In July 2004, members agreed that there was a need to consider, in depth, the approach taken by the MPS towards people with mental health support needs who come into contact with the police. In recognition of the complexity of this subject and of the interdependencies with health and social care providers, MPA members also agreed that they should not undertake this review in isolation. they invited key stakeholders to form a project board to undertake the work.
