Prison health
Prison Health is a partnership between the Prison Service and the Department of Health working to improve the standard of health care in prisons. Our aim is to provide prisoners with access to the same quality and range of health care services as the general public receives from the NHS. Since April 2006, commissioning responsibility for prison health services has been fully devolved to Primary Care Trusts (PCTs).
