Report of the Director of Community and Children Services.

The Committee received a report on the recent work on suicide prevention. Signs had now been placed on most City bridges, with planning applications submitted for Blackfriars and Southwark Bridge in conjunction with the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Southwark. Work was being undertaken to collate multi-agency statistics on suicide levels, with a data-sharing agreement predicted to be in place by the end of the year. The Chairman asked that any delays by the agencies should be escalated to Members for resolution.
