UK suicide rates at 20-year low Suicide rates in the UK have seen the largest decrease in 20 years, official figures reveal.
There were 3.6% fewer suicides registered in 2016 than in 2015 - a decrease by 223 deaths from 6,188, Office for National Statistics data shows.
Rates fell for both men and women, although men still account for three-quarters of cases.
