• Response times are reduced through intelligent performance management and rostering
• A single telephone number for all services and a sophisticated call management process which records all calls for evidential purposes

Prisons

In 2005 the responsibility for primary health care services within prisons was transferred to PCTs.  G4S, together with specialist partners and service providers, offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the healthcare needs of prison populations.

We not only deliver healthcare to those in custody, but aim to reduce re-offending and prepare inmates for life out of prison, providing housing, life skills and ongoing healthcare.
