    Dr Ian Cumming is giving oral evidence at the committee inquiry on prison governance. He suspects tenders delivering healthcare are won by lowest bidders, who maybe cutting corners to the detriment of care.

    Good news. But with the government's plans to scrap all short sentences, probation services are going to be put through the ringer, with an exponentially increased workload. Am looking forward to hearing gov's plans to bolster mental health provision in new probation system

    The gov has announced their plans to bring all offender management under the National Probation Service by spring 2021. There are similar rates of mental illness in as prison- mental health provision must be prioritised in all plans to reform

    We're delighted to be part of this campaign to end inappropriate out of area rehabilitation placements. 2/3 of these patients, most of whom will be seriously ill with psychosis, are sent out of area, away from family and friends. This scandal must end now

    Prof Jenny Shaw and Prof Richard Byng discuss Prof Byng’s work to monitor the mental health care given to those released from prison. There is particularly little attention given to those with common mental health disorders.
