I agree that connectivity between organisations is really important. One of the things that the suicide prevention strategy has said is that preventing suicide is everybody’s business. We all need to have that in our minds and work together across organisations to support people.

I most certainly agree that people coming together and working together can really make a difference. Well done to my hon. Friend’s community for doing that.

I thank the hon. Member for securing this debate. The Coroners Service for Northern Ireland reported 290 suicides in Northern Ireland in 2024; eight in 10 of those were male and 28% were from the most deprived communities, underlining the urgent need to reach people across our UK. Does the...

I most certainly agree that we need to do all we can to support young people—in fact, all people—facing ideas of suicidality. I will touch on the issue of funding.

I most certainly agree with the points my hon. Friend made, and I thank her constituent for the work she does in raising awareness.

I certainly agree with the Children’s Commissioner and with my hon. Friend on the issues he has raised.
