<p>It is not possible to estimate the proportion of sexual offenders serving an indeterminate
sentence of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) whose suitability for parole
might be enhanced if they were to take medication to manage their sex drives. This
is because the impact that such medication might have varies considerably from individual
to individual, having regard to their offending histories and interests, and because
medication of this kind requires the offender’s consent.</p><p> </p><p>In any event,
the Medication to Manage Sexual Arousal (MMSA) service is currently offered only at
seven prisons. Whilst Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Services keeps MMSA under
continuous review as part of its commitment to evidence-based approaches to reducing
reoffending and protecting the public, there are no plans currently to expand MMSA
beyond those seven prisons.</p>
