Separately, other important work is taking place alongside our reforms. The Chief Medical Officer is undertaking an independent review of offender health, which will include young offender institutions, IPP prisoners and female prisoners. This will help us to get a better understanding of the specific health challenges faced by offenders and to work with the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and other health providers to improve the support available to them alongside these legislative reforms. Additionally, NHS England will be undertaking a full review of the mental health service specification and pathways of care.
