HC Deb 08 April 1986 vol 95 c8W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions in each of the last 10 years prisoners have taken legal action against prison medical officers in relation to medical treatment given in prison; what was the outcome in each case; and in how many instances the treatment concerned was administered by a hospital officer.

Mr. Mellor

Such information is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
