Prisoner Transportation
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions her Department has held with health care professionals about the transportation of prisoners who are (a) pregnant and (b) suffering from medical conditions affecting mobility; what related guidance she has issued to (i) health care professionals and (ii) the National Offender Management Service; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
It is a requirement for all prisoners to have their medical needs assessed by a health care professional prior to transportation. The precise arrangements for this are a matter for prisons and primary care trusts. The Department has not issued guidance centrally on this matter, and has had no recent meetings with health care professionals about the transportation of prisoners.
