Safety and security in prisons is our top priority, and we take the mental health and wellbeing of prisoners and staff extremely seriously. The precise information requested could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.

There is published data on the number of self-harm incidents, assaults by prisoners on other prisoners and assaults by prisoners on staff at each prison establishment within the Safety in Custody statistics, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/safety-in-custody-quarterly-update-to-march-2017
