HMP Send Health Needs Assessment 2009/10

The NHS Surrey Public Health Directorate is undertaking a rolling programme of needs assessments and refreshes across the five Surrey prisons to inform the commissioning process. The health needs assessment is also a key component of several of the Prison Health and Performance Quality Indicators that are being collected on an annual basis by the Department of Health and the Ministry of Justice. Needs assessments were carried out at HMP Send in 2004 and 2006. It is recommended that a needs assessment or refresh is undertaken every 12 months. Given the changes that have taken place since 2006, this further full health needs assessment was undertaken. The 2012 refresh is also available on Surrey-i. It updates the data and should be read in conjunction with the full HNA.
