Suicide prevention strategy debate postponed

A Tynwald debate about a suicide prevention strategy for the Island has been put back a month.

Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher was to submit the report when the court sits next week, with a call for more funding to help authorities tackle suicide on the Island.

The report includes the latest data from 2020, when the Island's suicide rate was 50 per cent higher than the UK's.

The debate will now be tabled for May's sitting.
