answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 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> answering member constituency North Norfolk answering member printed Norman Lamb grouped question UIN 204459 question first answered 15/07/2014 13:31:59 answering member 1439 label Biography information for Norman Lamb

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Deighton on 1 July concerning youth unemployment (WA 254), whether they will take steps to ensure that employment policy remains a national policy.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL955
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Tackling unemployment is essential for sustainable economic growth in the UK and the EU. Where labour market reforms are needed in Member States, these should be encouraged. Opportunities at the EU level to exchange best practice and identify areas for reform exist, in particular through the European Semester process. However, as is recognised in Article 147 of the Lisbon Treaty, responsibility for employment policies rests with the Member States. The Government continues to be firm and vigilant on this principle. It is also very clear that the UK will not take part in any deeper co-operation that may be developed for countries in the Eurozone.</p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 14/07/2014 16:19:14 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud
