Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, further to the answer to Question 36708 of 20 October 2026, if he will provide the number of restricted patients detained in hospital in England and Wales, broken down by principal index offence, for any patients for whom these data are available.

Restricted Patients statistics are published annually each April. For patients detained in hospital as of 31 December 2025, whose principal index offence is Murder or Manslaughter numbers have been provided below.

Providing a more granular breakdown of offences would incur disproportionate cost.

All offence categories are published within the Restricted Patients Statistics, with offence group breakdowns available in Table 3 of the publication: Restricted_Patients_Statistics_2025.ods
