Eastwood Park Prison: Mother and Baby Units
(asked on 31st January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many women have been (a) refused entry to a Mother and Baby Unit and (b) relocated elsewhere since the closure for repair of Eastwood Park Mother and Baby Unit.
This question was answered on 5th February 2018
No woman has been refused a place on a Mother and Baby Unit as a result of the temporary closure of Eastwood Park’s MBU. It remains the case that the temporary closure of the unit has not placed any undue pressure on MBU places and that the current provision of MBU places is sufficient to meet demand.
