Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what clinical monitoring arrangements are in place for Palestine Action activists on hunger strike; and whether hospital care will be provided if medically advised.

Healthcare services in the prison estate are commissioned by NHS England. All prison healthcare providers are commissioned and contracted to use National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines and have pathways of care in place for people refusing food and/or fluid. If a person requires hospital care this will also be available and facilitated.
