question text	To ask His Majesty's Government how many people entering prison underwent reception screening for mental health issues; and how many of these were undertaken by a person with a recognised mental health qualification, in each of the last five years.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradley
uin	HL1504
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2024 answer text <p>Everyone coming into prison either from courts or transfer from another prison or on remission from a psychiatric unit receives the first reception screening. This screening is based on National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines and includes questions on a person’s mental health. The clinicians undertaking the initial reception screening could be either a general nurse or a mental health nurse. We do not have the breakdown of those that undertake reception screenings when seeing prisoners and their qualifications.</p><p>Any patient that requires further support or investigations for physical or mental health conditions is appropriately referred on to the relevant team. It is important to note that the initial health screen on reception is to keep people safe in the first few days. A more comprehensive second screening is undertaken within seven days of arrival.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 17/01/2024 17:28:39 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2024 answer text <p>In August 2019 and following consultation with stakeholders, the Mental Health Casework Section (MHCS) of HM Prison and Probation Service introduced a target of five calendar days to authorise a warrant to transfer prisoners from prison to hospital under the Mental Health Act 1983. A transfer may be authorised only when two medical reports and all other relevant information is received as required under the statutory criteria set out in section 47 (for sentenced prisoners) and section 48 (unsentenced prisoners, civil prisoners and immigration detainees) of the Mental Health Act 1983.</p><p>The information requested can be found in the tables below. We have not disclosed for 2019 as to do so would be at a disproportionate cost. In addition, we have not disclosed for 2023 as the information requested is a subset of transfer data that we are scheduled to publish on 25 April 2024.</p><p><strong>Table 1.
