Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Supreme Court judgment of 19 March 2014 in the case of P v Cheshire West and Chester Council and another, what estimate she has made of costs for each police area of attending after deaths in care homes of people subject to Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Assessments.

The Home Office has made no assessment of the costs to police of attending
such incidents. The amount spent on such incidents is a matter for individual
Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables.
