These standards set out evidence-based good practice in addressing the health and wellbeing needs of women in prison. The document contains six key principles and 122 standards covering 10 topic areas. The ten topic areas are: general, health and wellbeing; mental health, self-harm and suicide; substance misuse; violence and abuse; sexual and reproductive health; pregnancy and families; older women; nutrition and diet; physical activity; and weight management. The standards have been developed from a literature review of current evidence and reviewed through consultation with national and international experts. They are designed to complement existing national and international health standards and guidance for women in prison. The document will be useful for commissioners of services, service providers and all employees who work in the female prisons. It is also relevant for local authorities and community providers who may provide services to women on leaving prison. (Edited publisher abstract)

This Service Framework for Older People is one of a range of Service Frameworks which set out standards for health and social care to be used by patients, service users, carers and their wider families to help them understand the standard of care they can expect to receive in Northern Ireland. It sets standards in relation to people over 65 whilst taking account of the needs of those over 50, where appropriate, particularly in relation to preventative measures. The Framework sets standards in relation to: Person-centred Care; Health and Social Wellbeing Improvement; Safeguarding; Carers; Conditions more Common in Older People; Medicines Management and Transitions of Care. Each standard is accompanied by a statement on what the standard is intended to achieve. It also sets out the evidence base and rationale for the development of the standard, the impact of the standard on quality improvement as well as the performance indicators that will be used to measure that the standard during the three year period 2013 - 2016. The Framework has been developed by multidisciplinary Programme Board with the involvement of patients, users of services and their carers. The Framework will be regularly review in the light of new evidence. (Edited publisher abstract)
