Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many restricted patients in England and Wales have been conditionally discharged subject to conditions that amount to a deprivation of liberty since February 2026, broken down by (a) discharging authority and (b) index offence group; and how many remained subject to those conditions on the latest date for which figures are available.

We believe this question relates to the provision in the Mental Health Act 2025, known as Supervised Discharge, which was commenced in February 2026. We have committed to publish available information in the next release of Restricted Patient Statistics, which will be in April 2027. As such the data in reference to (a) and (b) is not currently available and would need new analysis.
