The extent of this instrument and its territorial application is for England and Wales. An impact assessment has been prepared for this instrument and has been published. It concludes that there will be an increase in demand for various services due to an increase in referrals. This includes probation, community accommodation, local health services and electronic monitoring services. We have been working closely with partners nationally and regionally to ensure the impacts of this measure on services are well understood and manageable, and to ensure that they are sufficiently resourced to respond in the immediate and longer term.
