(asked on 29th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many new prisoners have been screened for acquired brain injury since April 2021.
This question was answered on 13th July 2022
The information requested is not held centrally. Each arrival at a prison, whether sentenced or remanded, should receive a first night health screen. This screening tool contains questions on acquired brain injury which, if answered in the affirmative, would result in a referral for a specific assessment.
