Epilepsy Services

I must refer the hon. Lady to the report, if she has read it. I appreciate that responsibility for health passed over to the PCTs. Once again, we are seeing statistics that show that prisoners are not being followed up for a period of 12 months, and that more than 60 per cent. of those who are taking anti-epileptic drugs require a change in those drugs while none of the prisoners who need such a change have had that opportunity or been fully informed about their condition. I urge the Minister to consider that in her Department and with the Ministry of Justice, because it could impact on the access of prisoners to suitable health care, as they cannot readily walk out and consult a doctor or a nurse.
