That this House marks World Suicide Prevention Day; remembers all those who have lost their lives to suicide or who have lost a loved one to suicide; pays tribute to the tireless work of both national and community groups such as Winchester Youth Counselling which provides invaluable support for young people in need; urges the Government to commit to putting funding for mental health services on an equal footing for funding for physical health services; notes that despite mental health services account for 20% of NHS workload they receive a mere 8% of NHS funding; calls on the Government to heed Liberal Democrat calls for a mental health professional in every school; and further urges support for those who have lost a loved one to suicide as well as those suffering with poor mental health.
