To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many (a) male and (b) female sex offenders are living in residential accommodation provided by (i) the NHS and (ii) relevant charities in Northern Ireland; (293966)

Although public protection arrangements, for which I have responsibility, bring together a number of criminal justice agencies, and others, to assess and manage risk of harm posed by the most serious offenders, these questions relate specifically to areas of health and social care and are therefore matters devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive.
