answer text <p /> <p>Temporary release can be an important tool in helping prisoners to re-adjust safely and productively to life in the community. It is allowed to prisoners only towards the end of their time in custody and only after a thorough risk assessment. We are changing the approach to temporary release to give even greater weight to public protection and the need for prisoners to demonstrate how the release will aid their rehabilitation and increase their chances of leading a crime free life on release.</p><p> </p><p>Prisoners are only allowed to take driving lessons if the licence is required to help their rehabilitation, for example improving future employment prospects, thus reducing their likelihood of re-offending. Prisoners are expected to fund the lessons and tests out of their own pockets but may be offered some assistance in exceptional circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>The following table details the number of prisoners who were released on temporary licence for driving lesson or tests in 2013 by offence type; ie the principal offence for the sentence that they were serving when temporarily released:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Offence group</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Violence</p></td><td><p>89</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sexual</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Robbery</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Burglary</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Theft and Handling</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fraud and Forgery</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Drugs</p></td><td><p>51</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Motoring</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Other</p></td><td><p>10</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Not known</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>190</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Data Sources and Quality</em>: These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p><p> </p><p>190 offenders were granted temporary release for driving lessons or tests in 2013, compared to 215 in 2008.</p>

answer text <p>All prisons are required to have procedures to identify, manage and support people who are at risk of harm to themselves. A health assessment is undertaken for all prisoners on reception into custody to assess their risk of suicide or self-harm. The prisoner’s Person Escort Record form, which is available to staff on reception, may provide information about concerns of self-harm. When a prisoner is identified as being at-risk of self-harm, they are managed through the Assessment, Care in Custody and Teamwork (ACCT) process, which is a prisoner-centred, flexible care planning system.</p><p> </p><p>All relevant risk information is recorded on the Prison NOMIS case management system and on healthcare IT systems where appropriate. All staff working directly with prisoners have access to NOMIS and the relevant risk information.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Although there is no cure for fibromyalgia, some treatments can ease symptoms and support improved quality of life for patients. The treatments offered will depend on the severity of a patient’s condition, but may include: pharmacological pain relief; physiotherapy; dietary and exercise advice; counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy; and self-management programmes which aim to give patients the skills and confidence to manage their conditions more effectively. There are also a number of National Health Service trusts that offer specialist fibromyalgia clinics, such the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases in Bath, which patients can access on referral from the clinician responsible for their care.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We know that early diagnosis is the key to improving outcomes across many conditions. Detailed information about fibromyalgia, including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options, suitable for newly diagnosed patients, is available on the NHS Choices website at <a href="http://www.nhs.uk/" target="_blank">www.nhs.uk</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
