What if a prisoner requires treatment?
Physical ailments are dealt with by a member of healthcare team which includes a doctor/GP. If necessary the patient will be transferred to the healthcare facility or in some cases maybe transferred to hospital for medical treatment. If a prisoner needs to stay in hospital usually a prison officer will accompany them and remain with them throughout their stay.
