Annual report 2026:\u202fUK patient and general population data, 2013-2023<\/h1>\n

Date of publication: this report was originally published in February 2026. Version 2 was published in March 2026. Version 2 of the report includes refinements to the wording of three of the clinical messages in the infographic (see the change log for details<\/a>).

Our 2026 annual report provides findings relating to people aged ten and above who died by suicide between 2013 and 2023 across the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) and Jersey.

In this\u202fyear\u2019s\u202freport\u202fwe also present data on\u202fspecific\u202ftopics, some of which\u202freflect\u202fcurrent concerns\u202fin suicide prevention\u202for groups who may be at increasing risk. These\u202finclude\u202fpatients under crisis care settings,\u202folder patients aged\u202f75 and above,\u202fthose with a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorder, and patients who were recent migrants.<\/p>\n
