More than 30,000 people with men tal health problems are dying needlessly every year from causes other than suicide, according to new figures.

The Government estimates around 100,000 people under 75 die every year from illnesses that could have been prevented through better medical treatment or interventions like stop smoking campaigns.

A new report from the charity Rethink Mental Illness has found around a third of these deaths are among people with mental health problems.
