This plan is published in response to the recommendations for improving the health and well-being of adult offenders in Lord Bradley’s 2009 review of people with mental health problems or learning disabilities in the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom. It accepts the direction proposed in the Bradley review and in combination with feedback from stakeholders given during the consultation ‘Improving health, supporting justice’ sets out a strategic framework of 5 objectives with timescales aimed for over the next 18 months. Delivering this plan in recessionary times means little scope for new resources and it concentrates on improving and re-focusing existing services across individual Primary Care Trust and criminal justice agencies and localities working in partnership, by adopting existing good practice, system reform to better working practices and the innovative skills of frontline staff. In addition this plan details several service specific priorities, for example for the Police and Crown Prosecution Services, the courts, prisons and probationary services and drugs and alcohol misuse services. Key deliverables, with timescales are listed throughout the text, which are referenced against the Bradley review recommendations, eighty two of which are annexed to this paper.
