HC Deb 29 April 2003 vol 404 c340W
15. Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the provision of prison health care. [109816]

Jacqui Smith

Standards of prison health care have already been much improved since the establishment in April 2000 of the partnership between the Prison Service and the NHS. My Department's assumption of budgetary responsibility for prison health care from 1 April 2003 will lead to increased investment and further improvements in services.
