There are a wide range of interventions which can be provided by the health and wellbeing team in situ to prevent the need for men to attend at local emergency departments. In the event of a medical emergency a man may be transferred to local services if care cannot be provided within HMP Berwyn but men are transferred back to the prison at the earliest appropriate opportunity.</p><p> </p><p>A risk assessment will decide the level of staffing required for the safe transfer to hospital and during any further hospital stay. This will be completed before any move to hospital from HMP Berwyn except in an emergency. The risk assessment is approved by the Head of Security or the person operationally in charge of the prison.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 14/12/2017 16:25:20 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

In England, it would be a matter for local clinical commissioning groups as commissioners of emergency care.</p><p> </p><p>In practice, a person would be triaged in the same way as any other person arriving at accident and emergency and would be seen on the basis of seriousness of their presentation. The fact they are brought in from a prison would have no bearing on their urgency at being seen, this would be solely down to their clinical presentation.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 18/12/2017 16:12:23 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
