§ Mr. ToddTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are being taken to ensure that prisoners at HMP and Young Offenders Institution Foston Hall have access to suitable health care. [110899]
§ Mr. BoatengThere is a full range of clinics and counselling services at Foston Hall prison. However, improvements are being made to health care services at the prison. The governor has had discussions with the chief executive of Derbyshire National Health Service to agree new arrangements under the new joint Prison Service/National Health Service partnership. All standards will be met under the new partnership. A health questionnaire prepared by the health authority has been completed by prisoners and will form the basis of a needs analysis.
