The main story for the paper focuses on a sex offender who was repeatedly allowed to return to his home overlooking the playground he targeted. It leads on a statement from the Metropolitan Police commissioner, who said police officers felt "hamstrung" by a system that he said results in "seemingly unfathomable decisions".

The headline reads "It's on at last".Image caption, People who believe they have ADHD or autism must wait two years before they can be assessed, according to the Guardian. The paper reports that the decision to delay assessments is because the NHS is struggling to meet the "surging demand", and cannot afford the cost of the number of assessments people are seeking. It adds that the NHS disclosure of this approach precedes a major government-commissioned review of the "colossal increases" in diagnoses of ADHD, autism and mental illness.Image caption, The NHS is also the focus for the i Paper, which reports that overcrowding in A&E has been linked to more than 500 deaths a week across the UK.
