To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she expects to publish the report International experiences of using community treatment orders; when she received the report; what assessment she has made of its findings; what consideration she has given to its policy implications; what discussion she has had of its findings with (a) the authors of the report and (b) policy officials; and if she will make a statement. (104741)

The Department of Health has commissioned research to look at international experiences of implementing community treatment orders (CTOs). The Department has not yet received the complete report of the findings and so it would be inappropriate to discuss the report at this stage. We expect to publish the findings when the research is completed. When it is completed, there will be an assessment of the findings and of any policy implications.
