HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 c2W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for die Home Department how many medical officers, hospital officers and nurses employed in prisons have attended training courses in health education.

Mr. Mellor

Information in the form requested is not available from central records and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The professional and in-service training received by the staff groups mentioned contains elements relevant to health education. Such education, involving staff in various disciplines, is an ingredient in a number of existing or planned programmes and initiatives.
