Abstract

Health-care services within criminal justice systems in England and Wales have recently experienced large-scale competitive tendering, partly stimulated by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. A similar process of competitive tendering occurred within addictions services and resulted in patchwork service provision and disrupted local care pathways. 1 Within offender health, this same ideologically and politically driven process is now jeopordising connections across local health-care pathways, under the guise of improvement and efficiency.
