Does Government just think if it stops counting its not happening! Government have stopped collecting information on Suicide Indicators too but are developing a new Suicide Prevention Strategy (which of course will become inactive if no audited indicators can be logged) When the Coalition state "we are all in this together" ...some are in deeper than others....like the Titanic, some have lifeboats and life jackets, whilst others are thrown in to sink or swim!
