There were 10 self-inflicted deaths at the Victorian prison between 2018 and 2022, according to official figures.Mr Slaughter, the MP for Hammersmith, said he believed a backlog at coroners' courts meant important lessons that could be learnt from inquests were being delayed, potentially risking further harm to prisoners.
"What is the Ministry of Justice doing to prevent the unacceptable level of self-inflicted and avoidable death in prison, and what is it doing to speed up the inquest process?""We are working very closely with the National Health Service, who of course provide mental health support in prisons, and I am absolutely determined that we bring levels of self-harm down," the minister said.
