Three times as many mental health patients took their own lives when receiving care at home compared to those in hospital, new research has revealed.

The findings, published by the University of Manchester, have raised concern among mental health campaigners about the number of people taking their own life after they have been discharged from hospital and handed over to ‘crisis’ teams.
