A new report released by the New Zealand Ministry of Health titled "Suicide Trends" shows that the suicide rate in New Zealand has decreased 15\% since its peak in the late 1990's, but the attempted suicide rate is increasing. Jim Anderton , Associate Health Minister, said "It provides some comfort to see the long-term trend still appears to be heading in the right direction, with a continued decline or levelling off of self-inflicted deaths but there is no room for complacency." The New Zealand Government has put NZ 10.3 million towards direct suicide prevention. New Zealand News agencies are banned by law from reporting suicide deaths.
