answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>We do not hold that information. As I stated in my answer to PQ HL347, access to medical care for those in detention is guaranteed by the Constitution of Bahrain. We have been given categorical assurance privately and Bahrain have stated publicly that any inmate wishing to see the rehabilitation centre’s doctor is taken to the prison clinic. We welcome the public response from the Government of Bahrain in response to such claims and urge continued transparency.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 11/02/2020 13:22:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
