answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2018 answer text <p>The information is not centrally held and could obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, all pregnant women in custody have an individual care and management plan that is communicated to all staff and all pregnant women are seen by a mid-wife at least fortnightly or as required. Healthcare in prisons is provided by trained medics and nurses, but we have also made training on dealing with pregnant women available to all prison officers.</p><p> </p><p>We know it is extremely rare for a woman to give birth in prison - because every step is taken to get them to hospital - but those unique cases are invariably down to the unpredictability of labour.</p><p> </p><p>Our new Female Offenders Strategy made clear that we want fewer women serving short sentences in custody and more remaining in the community, making use of women’s centres to address needs such as substance misuse and mental health problems.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/11/2018 13:51:55 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2018 answer text <p>As I said in the answer to 187366, our vision of residential women’s centres is new we are not aware of any past or existing provision which fully accords with it. We therefore did not fund any places in residential women’s centres in 2016.</p><p>The Government is looking to develop a residential women’s centre pilot in at least five sites across England and Wales as part of its commitments within the female offender strategy.The aim of the pilot will be to develop a robust evidence base about what could be effective, sustainable and scalable models for improving outcomes for female offenders and reducing the numbers and frequency of women entering and re-entering custody on short custodial sentences.We will take a consultative approach for designing and delivering the pilot models, engaging with potential providers, partners, and investors, both nationally and locally. We want to ensure that the models we take forward are sustainable, credible and appropriate for the local context of each site.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 23/11/2018 14:50:12 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
