Christmas can be a tough time for a lot of us. It’s supposed to be joyful, but it can also bring up feelings of loneliness, stress, or sadness. Talking about what’s on your mind can really help, but it’s not always easy. Here are some tips to help you start a conversation 💗
New suicide figures have been published by @ONS, covering the 3rd quarter of the year. Which means we now have data for first 9m of 2024 & a strong indication of what the full-year rate will be. The rise in 2023 caused a stir. Has it continued?

New suicide figures for the final 3m of 2023 are published by @ONS today, giving us rates for last year as a whole. It is not good news. The suicide rate rose 6% from 2022, the first substantial rise since 2018. The rate was 11.1 per 100,000 people, highest figure since 1999.
This report shows how decades of underfunding social care has⬆️pressure on the NHS, more people are getting stuck in hospital or ending up there unnecessarily and fewer people can get care. And care staff are overworked, poorly paid and many leave their jobs.

People that work in social care do amazing things every day. We need to start valuing this work by paying people fairly, at least in line with NHS Band 3.
