Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer claimed the suicide rate is “going up”. The rate of suicide registrations in England and Wales has risen since 2007. But data for the last few years shows a mixed picture, with the rate of suicide occurrences broadly flat.
The ONS also publishes data on
Whether suicide registrations have been rising recently depends partly on when “recently” begins. For instance, the rate of 10.7 per 100,000 in 2021 had risen since 2017, when it was 9.4 per 100,000, but fallen since 2019, when it was 11 per 100,000. In a press release distributed before Mr Starmer’s speech, Labour referred to, saying: “Coroners statistics published earlier this month revealed that 2022 saw the highest number of suicides recorded in England and Wales.
This appears to show relatively little change in the rate of suicides between 2013, when the dataset begins, and 2021. Again, there are periods in the data when the rate is rising, but it has fallen in the last two years, and was slightly lower in 2021 than in 2013, although the figures could be revised in future.
