To ask the Scottish Government whether any transgender prisoners with convictions for sex offences have been provided with gender-affirming items at public cost since 2021, and if so, how many.
I have asked Teresa Medhurst, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), to respond. Her response is as follows:
The SPS seeks to be as open and transparent as possible, while also upholding our statutory obligation to protect the personal information of those in our care.
This information requested is not information held by the Scottish Prison Service.
