<p>We are investing £550 million to rehabilitate offenders by getting them off drugs
and into work and stable accommodation.</p><p>Between April 2021 and March 2022, the
proportion of prisoners released from custody employed at six months rose by almost
two thirds.</p><p>Together with NHS England, we are continuing to improve services
in prison to ensure that people have access to timely and effective mental health
care that is tailored to their needs. This will be reflected in the new National Partnership
Agreement on health and social care in England, which is due to be published shortly,
and the refreshed NHS England mental health service specification for prisons, which
will be rolled out by April 2023.</p>
