To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish its next Creating Hope Together suicide prevention action plan.
The first three year Creating Hope Together action plan was published in 2022 and covers the period 2022-2025.
As outlined in the answer S6W-35639 on 27 March 2025, we are starting to develop our next three-year action plan which we intend to publish in early 2026. This will build on the existing suicide prevention work and the significant insights gathered over the lifespan of the current action plan, as well as reflecting emerging and new evidence on suicide prevention. We will be engaging with our key stakeholders, our lived experience panels and others in the coming months so that they can help shape the next action plan.
