<p>The information requested is provided in the attached table. As per the answer
to PQ 184996, please note that offenders may appear both within the caseload figures
of court orders (including community orders and suspended sentence orders), and post-release
supervision.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation
Companies work closely with other agencies to support offenders in the community.
When an offender being supervised by Probation dies, the Probation provider must examine
the circumstances of the death and identify areas to improve practice. While we work
extremely closely with each offender before and after release to help them find the
support they need, we do not have sole responsibility for caring for these offenders.
We are clear, however, that they should receive the same level of care as other members
of the public.</p>
