The information requested is not held. NHS England has statutory and financial responsibility for providing health care in English prisons, including delivering mental health treatment.
No prisoners should be refused access to a mental health treatment based on their sentence type. Individual cases are assessed on the basis of the offender’s readiness and suitability to engage in treatment.
