At Second Reading, the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Brixton, noted that 30% of IPP offenders are not in appropriate settings. The noble Lord, Lord Timpson, conceded this reality and said that the MoJ was addressing this, urgently working with HMPPS to make sure that people are transferred to the best prisons to access interventions and services that will aid their rehabilitation. My emphasis on moving mentally ill people into hospitals and using hospital orders is even more important in these settings, which I would urge as an immediate priority.
