- Summary:
-
"The Corrections Health Service, the NSW Department of Health and Department of Corrective Services have successfully collaborated to conduct one of the most detailed inmate health surveys ever undertaken. The survey was initially recommended by the Report of the NSW Prison Medical Service Review Committee (Wilton, 1991) and was a key objective of the Corrections Health Services̉ Board. It is part of the continuing effort of the CHS to define the health profile of inmates and to provide health services appropriate to their needs. A pilot survey was conducted in 1995 and the final survey was completed in 1996. It will be used in the health planning process within the correctional system and will guide the allocation of available correctional health resources, as well as provide a stimulus and base for further research into many prison health issues. As the report is based on a survey, its findings are from self report. It is thus indicative of the health of the inmate population rather than being a definitive statement on the health of the inmate population as a whole" -- p.4
