National Confidentiality Inquiry (NCI)
The National Confidential Inquiry is a research project funded largely by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA). Other funders are the Scottish Government and the Department of Health and Social Services in Northern Ireland. The initiative aims to investigate all incidences of suicide and homicide committed by people in contact with mental health services in the United Kingdom. The anticipated outcome is that mental health services will be improved and the risk of these tragedies occuring in the future will be reduced.
