Mr. Madden: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what rights prisoners detained in England and Wales have to secure
a second medical opinion and appropriate treatment, with particular reference to drug dependent prisoners. [9164]

Letter from Richard Tilt to Mr. Max Madden, dated 18 December 1996:
The Home Secretary has asked me to respond to your recent Question about the rights of prisoners, detained in England and Wales
prisons, to secure a second medical opinion and appropriate treatment, with particular reference to drug dependant prisoners.
Neither unconvicted or convicted prisoners have an automatic right to seek a second medical opinion from NHS or private health care
services. Where however, a second opinion is thought necessary by the prison medical officer, arrangements are made for the prisoner
to be examined by a visiting NHS clinician, or transferred to a NHS hospital for examination or treatment.
Notwithstanding the above, if an unconvicted prisoner wishes to secure a second medical opinion, he or she may be visited and
treated in prison by a nominated doctor if the following conditions are met:
The inmate is able and willing to pay the expenses incurred.
The Governor is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for such a request.
A convicted prisoner does not have this automatic right.
In exceptional circumstances a prisoner, whether convicted or unconvicted, may receive in-patient treatment in a private hospital or
clinic, or a private room in a National Health Service Hospital. For this to occur the medical officer must be satisfied that the
following conditions are met:
Hospital inpatient treatment is necessary.
It is clinically advisable that the treatment is carried out during the period that the prisoner is in custody.
The treatment cannot be carried out in a prison service health care centre and
that the prisoner could be treated significantly earlier, privately in a hospital within reasonable distance of the prison than
under NHS arrangements or
They had an appointment for private in-patient treatment before they came into prison.
The governor must also satisfy himself that:
The inmate has sufficient funds or adequate private insurance to meet all costs, including the bedwatch.
These conditions apply to all medical and dental conditions, including the treatment of drug dependency.

Holloway prison has a dedicated wing with specialist expertise and interest in caring for pregnant women. Admission to the unit is
on a voluntary basis. Holloway, along with all prisons has the back up of the National Health Service, for both in-patient and out
patient facilities. In addition, consultants are contracted by the Prison Service to carry out clinics in the prisons themselves.
Where necessary, prisoners are taken under escort to outside hospitals.

Letter from Richard Tilt to Mr. Alex Carlile, dated 18 December 1996:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent question about which prisons have been adapted to enable visitors to have
access with wheelchairs and other physical disabilities.
Facilities for disabled visitors have generally been provided as a result of local minor work and we do not therefore have
comprehensive central records of modifications made to buildings for this purpose. A survey carried out in 1995, however, revealed
that the attached list of establishments have facilities for disabled visitors.
Examples of the type of facilities provided include ramps, lifts, wide doors and specially adapted toilets. The establishments
listed may have all or any of these.
Our standard briefing guides for new buildings provide for access ramps, lifts, toilets, and for circulation routes to be made
suitable for the passage of wheelchairs. Wherever practical these guides are also taken into account when existing facilities are
refurbished.

Mr. Alan Howarth: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy for depositing in the Library documents
concerning the contracting out of services; how many documents have been deposited in the Library since 1992 in the categories (a)
invitation to tender, (b) draft contracts and (c) binding contracts signed by both parties; how many draft contracts contain
performance targets for the contractor; and in how many cases a draft contract has been altered as a result of representations from
hon. Members following deposition in the Library. [8915]
Mr. Howard: It is not general policy to deposit documents concerning the contracting out of services in the Library, but invitations
to tender and contracts for both design construction management and finance schemes and the operation of prisons are placed in the
Library, subject to the removal of pricing and other commercially sensitive details.
Since 1992, four invitations to tender, relating to Her Majesty's prisons Wolds, Blakenhurst, Buckley Hall and Doncaster, and six
contracts, relating to Her Majesty's prisons Wolds, Blakenhurst, Buckley Hall, Doncaster, Bridgend and Fazakerley, have been
deposited in the Library.
All Home Office contracts specify the level of service required and, in appropriate cases, performance targets.
No draft contracts have been deposited, or altered as a result of representation from hon. Members.
