This joint review looks at the provision of social care in prisons following the introduction of new social care services to prisoners under the Care Act 2014 and the Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014. It draws on inspection reports and additional data collection conducted in eight establishments. Although the review identified developments that are good practice in the social care of prisoners, it found a wide variation and disparity in the provision of social care services in prisons. Many older jails are ill-equipped for prisoners in wheelchairs or with mobility problems. Some prisoners also struggle to wash and look after themselves. The report also shows a failure of the prison service and local authorities to plan for the future needs of a growing population of older and frail prisoners, with developments in social care in prisons only relating to current levels of need. The report makes recommendations for prisons and local authorities in relation to strategic planning, needs assessment, care planning, adapting the physical environment, and continuity of care when prisoners are transferred or released into the community.

This review is part of a targeted inspection programme of NHS hospitals to assess whether older people are treated with respect and whether they get the food and drink that meets their needs. The review involved a visit to the hospital; observation on selected wards; talking to service users, visitors, members of staff; and looking at the records of people who used hospital services. The hospitals performance was reviewed against the two essential standards of: Respecting and involving people who use services and meeting nutritional needs. Under each outcome, the review provides the level of concern, an outline of the findings and evidence. It then lists improvement actions that need to be carried so that the service provider maintains compliance with essential standards. The review found that Homerton University Hospital was meeting both of the essential standards of quality and safety reviewed but, to maintain this, some improvements were suggested.
