Custodial Healthcare Service Provision

The service shall provide fully qualified, trained and competent Healthcare Professionals embedded 24/7/365(6) in the 6 main Custody Suites in the TVP area to assess, treat and signpost Detained Persons (DPs) to ensure fitness for detention, interview, charging, release, with full live Clinical Oversight and consideration of a multi skilled workforce to assist across the Force and in particular the South of the Force. (Note; there is additional pressure in Loddon Valley and Maidenhead that may require additional support). The service needs to be reactive to short notice operational needs as well as proactive to longer term strategies. The ever evolving operational and custody requirements need to fully integrate with NHS (Liaison and Diversion), Social Care and Voluntary Sector providers of health and social support, creating and managing interconnected relationships and pathways with a view to reducing the ‘revolving door’ effect around the reasons for committing crimes.
