The Home Office publishes information on the number of individuals who claim to be victims of torture, or who have other medical concerns, quarterly as part of transparency data. The latest figures can be found on gov.uk at Immigration Enforcement data: Q3 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office does not publish statistics on the number of detained individuals that have been found to be victims of torture or modern slavery; and this could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
