Ms Caron McCaffrey:
The model now is an in-reach model. The Deputy is absolutely right. The hepatitis C specialist nurse travels to the prison and administers the treatment within the prison, as opposed to us having to escort prisoners to hospital. There is a lot of efficiency, including from an organisational perspective and also from the perspective of prisoners.
