answer text <p>I have been asked to reply.</p><p> </p><p>As of 14 July 2014 there are seven restricted patients unlawfully at large. Restricted patients are patients detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 following criminal proceedings and subject to a restriction order or a restriction or limitation direction. Two absconded in the last week in April 2014. The remaining four are long term, one from each of the years 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2010.</p><p> </p><p>The information is not available in the format requested. Such information as is available is in the following table:</p><p> </p><p>Restricted Patients - Absconds and Escapes from Mental Health Hospitals 2010 – 2013:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Absconds</p></td><td><p>Escapes</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>106</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>104</p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>135</p></td><td><p>11</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>142</p></td><td><p>11</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p>1. &quot;Abscond&quot; means to leave lawful detention without overcoming a physical barrier, for example, getting away from escorts on community or compassionate leave.</p><p>2. &quot;Escape&quot; means to leave lawful detention by overcoming a physical barrier, for example by scaling a perimeter fence.</p><p>3. These figures relate to restricted mentally disordered offenders who were detained in hospital at the time of their abscond or escape. Community leave for restricted patients must be agreed by the Ministry of Justice.</p><p>4. The increase in the number of recorded Absconds probably reflects the much improved reporting and recording of such incidents, ranging from the patient who is a few minutes late back from a scheduled trip, to a longer term, intentional abscond.</p><p>5. The figures include patients who Abscond/Escape more than once.</p><p> </p>
