Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many times an ambulance has been called to HMP Lowdham Grange in (a) 2021, (b) 2022 and (c) 2023.
In line with policy at HMP Lowdham Grange, when a medical emergency procedure is activated, it is standard response for the communications room to call for an ambulance. This is in partnership with the prison’s healthcare providers. HMPPS does not hold information about the number of times the ambulance service has been called to attend the prison as the information is held by NHS England.
HMPPS contract management teams provide assurance that the prison provides safe, decent and secure services in accordance with the contract.
