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
