This is not a call for competition. This service will be commissioned as part of the overall Offender Health pathway within the prison and as such this model will ensure an integrated, recovery orientated treatment system both within the prison and onwards into the community. The service will focus on delivering person-centred care within seamless, integrated structured clinical and psychosocial interventions/services in prison and facilitating arrangements through the gate into the community to ensure effective continuity of care. Close joint working with other healthcare services, as well as other departments within the prison such as Education, Offender Management, and Physical Education, is imperative to the success of the delivery of this service. The service is to be made available to all prisoners within the establishment.
