Prison Service Order 3550 Clinical Services for Substance Misusers
This PSO requires all Governing Governors and Directors and Controllers of contracted out prisons to:
- Identify, assess and treat substance misusers in line with Department of Health guidelines (1999);
- Contribute to through-care plans;
- Provide information on high risk behaviour, harm-minimisation and secondary prevention to prisoners.
In addition, the new clinical standard and PSO reflect the introduction of ‘CARATs’ - the Counselling, Assessment, Referral, Advice and Throughcare services - which are now an integral part of the national Prison Service Drug Strategy and available in every prison.
I still remember the fallout from Michael Mansfield QC on BBC TV ‘Question Time’ reading out a letter I had published in the
Independent which related to the prison doctor advising me to buy a £1 deal of cannabis as a remedy for depression. I was later charged with possession of cannabis, fined £1.50 and the governor advised me that if I had a drug problem to go and see the prison doctor!
I suspect that this is one area where prisoners addicted to such as heroin will not get the equivalent treatment doled out by the NHS.
