answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The police are often the first service called on to respond to vulnerable people suffering from a mental health crisis, but they are not best-placed to provide the care such vulnerable people need. The Crisis Care Concordat and the introduction of street triage and Liaison and Diversion pilots are some examples of the way we are improving the response that people suffering from mental health problems receive from the police, and vitally, their healthcare partners.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Maidenhead answering member printed Mrs Theresa May question first answered 17/11/2014 16:40:37 answering member 8 label Biography information for Mrs Theresa May

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p><strong>The Government’s new Victims’ Code, which came into force on 10 December 2013, strengthens the rights of victims of crime, including where the offender is mentally disordered. The Code provides victims with clearer entitlements and better tailors services to individual need. Under the Code, criminal justice agencies must provide enhanced services to victims of the most serious crime; persistently targeted victims; and vulnerable and intimidated victims. </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Since 2001, victims of specified sexual and violent offences where the offender receives a sentence of twelve months or more have been offered the Probation Victim Contact Scheme, which enables them to make representations about which licence conditions a prisoner should be subject to on release, and to be informed about key stages of sentence such as release on temporary licence and full release. </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>The Victim Contact Scheme was extended by legislation to victims of mentally disordered offenders with restrictions in July 2005, and to victims of mentally disordered offenders without restrictions in November 2008.</strong></p><p><strong>Since April 2014, there has been a presumption that victims of restricted mentally disordered offenders will be told if they are granted permission for escorted or unescorted leave from hospital for rehabilitative purposes. </strong></p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 02/09/2014 16:01:14 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why the deadline for full roll-out of liaison and diversion services for offenders with mental health needs or learning disabilities has been extended from 2014 until 2017; and how many offenders will be affected by the delay.
tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL940
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2014 answer text <p>National roll-out of liaison and diversion services by NHS England will follow HM Treasury approval of a full business case. It has taken time to develop the business case and it will not be complete until 2015. This is because there is no existing evidence for the effectiveness of liaison and diversion services and this has to be developed as part of the phased roll-out of liaison and diversion services.</p><p> </p><p>Information is not available about the potential number of offenders who would be affected by roll-out in 2017 instead of roll-out in 2014. Liaison and diversion services enable people entering the criminal justice system with mental health-related conditions and learning disabilities to get the right support and the best possible care as soon as possible. For offenders whose needs are not identified by a liaison and diversion service in police custody or the courts, these will continue to be identified through court procedures or at reception in prison.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 17/07/2014 11:58:25 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
