Motion

Mental Health Provision in Northern Ireland

Mental Health Provision in Northern Ireland
That this Assembly regrets the state of mental health service provision in Northern Ireland; laments that the number of people who have passed away as a result of suicide is higher than those who lost their lives in the Troubles; and calls on the Minister of Health to work with his Executive colleagues to commit in the draft Programme for Government to make the prevention of suicide a priority across all departments and to utilize every resource to support those struggling with suicidal thoughts, to introduce targets to address the prevalence of mental health disorders across all age groups, and to introduce targets to tackle the rate of anxiety and depression in children and young adults.
