Written Question
Wednesday 18th January 2017
Asked by:
David Burrowes (Conservative - Enfield, Southgate)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, which prisons make available eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy for prison staff or prisoners; and how such therapy is funded.
Answered by Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
Prisoners are entitled to the same quality of healthcare treatments and services as people in the community. Psychotherapy treatments, including eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) may be provided in any prison, where clinically recommended by an appropriate healthcare professional.
The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) centrally funds psychological treatments for workplace trauma for prison staff, including EMDR, according to need and across the whole NOMS prison estate. NHS England is responsible for commissioning prisoner healthcare and all treatment and services provided to prisoners are funded from its overall budget.
