HC Deb 07 July 2003 vol 408 c654W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is on distributing free condoms among prisoners. [123302]

Dr. Ladyman

Policy on prison health issues is determined in partnership between the Home Office and the Department of Health. Prison doctors have been advised that they can make condoms available to individual prisoners, on application, where, in their clinical judgment, there is a risk of infection from HIV.
