164.Offenders subject to compulsion orders and restriction orders, hospital directions, or transfer of treatment directions, may be eligible for release on conditional discharge. Sections 16A, 16D and 17B of the 2003 Act, in making provision about information to be provided to victims of such offenders, or some such offenders, require that victims only be given information about a condition of discharge where the condition is “relevant” to the victim.

Section 48 amends section 18A by adding a power for the Scottish Minister to modify those circumstances
