Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many speech and language therapists work in each prison in England and Wales as of 13 October 2023.

Some prisons may have speech and language therapists in post while others may be brought in as required, however this data is not held centrally. People in prison are entitled to the same standard and range of health and social care services as they would receive in the community.
