This joint letter has been issued by the Prison Service and Prison Health. It aims to clarify the current and future auditing and performance management arrangements for prisoners' health services, in light of the completion of the transfer of those services from the public sector to the NHS in April 2006. Any changes to auditing arrangements only apply to public sector establishments in England where commissioning of prison health services has transferred to the NHS. Auditing arrangements for the contracted estate will remain unchanged until further notice.
