Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many defendants received results of (a) unfitness to plead under section 4, (b) findings under section 4A and (c) disposals under Section 5 of the Criminal Procedure (Insanity) Act 1964, in each of the past ten years.

The data centrally held does not contain information on whether a defendant was found unfit to plead. However, the Ministry of Justice routinely publishes statistics on prosecutions, convictions and outcomes in Criminal Justice Statistics Quarterly that can be downloaded at the following link: Criminal justice statistics quarterly - GOV.UK.
