HC Deb 18 December 1985 vol 89 c170W
Mr. Chris Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements he is making for medical and counselling care to be provided in the prison acquired immune deficiency syndrome unit.

Mr. Mellor

It is planned to convert part of the hospital complex at Brixton prison to use as an isolation unit for the care of patients suffering from infectious disease, including AIDS. The unit will draw upon the medical nursing and other specialist resources already available to the establishment.
