Anti-ligature products will be installed throughout the Waterside Hospital at Gransha to help prevent suicide at healthcare facility in Derry County, Ireland, according to an article on the Derry Now website.
Research by professionals has claimed that by removing access to any method where self-harm can occur is effective in its prevention.
The Western Health and Social Care Trust has issued a tender seeking a company to carry out the work at the Waterside Hospital.
The project includes the removal of potential ligature fixtures and fittings in the hospital — such items as door and window ironmongery, wash hand basins, suspended ceilings and the replacement of these items with anti-ligature type fixtures and fittings.
