A collation of suicide statistics for the UK, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland using information available from the official statistics bodies for the years 2012-2014. The document provides data and a description of the suicide rates in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, identifying trends and including breakdowns by age group. It also provides details about how to use suicide data and the differences between countries’ ways of producing them. It reports that there were 6,581 suicides in the UK and Republic of Ireland, in 2014. The figures suggest that rates of suicide in men are decreasing and female rates are increasing, although men remain more than three times more likely to take their own lives than women across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
