Good morning Mr Lynch,

 

We require a slight clarification with your OIA request below.

 

In your Subject line you have mentioned ‘Deaths ruled as suicides where
drug, alcohol or gambling addiction was a factor’ However in your actual
request you have no mention of gambling addiction, and have instead placed
‘alcohol’ in twice.

 

Can you confirm if your request of “statistics for the last 5 years on
suicide deaths where addiction to alcohol, drugs, or alcohol was a know
contributing factor.” – is correct.

 

Or if it should read “statistics for the last 5 years on suicide deaths
where addiction to alcohol, drugs, or gambling was a known contributing
factor.” - instead?

 

Your clarification on this would be most helpful.

 

Kind regards,

Subject: Official Information request - Deaths ruled as suicides where
drug, alcohol or gambling addiction was a factor

 

Dear Ministry of Justice,

 

I would like some information from the chief coroners office.

I'd like some statistics for the last 5 years on suicide deaths where
addiction to alcohol, drugs, or alcohol was a know contributing factor.

I'd also like some statistics for the same period on how many suicide
deaths were people who had a history with the mental health system vs
those with no known contact.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Paul Lynch
