Vote 24 – Justice (25 May 2023) Colm Burke: In fairness, this issue has gone on for quite some time. We had a substantial reduction ten or 12 years ago but no increase in that period. We now have a concern where people are dropping out of the system and, therefore, we may run into problems. Are we talking about a timescale of the end of July, September or December? Surely we are entitled, and they are entitled, to have some kind of...

Vote 24 – Justice (25 May 2023) Colm Burke: On the Prison Service, some prisons provide a hepatitis C treatment programme over a period of eight or 12 weeks. In some cases people would be taken to a hospital setting to attend an outpatient clinic and, therefore, there is a huge cost issue because prison office staff must accompany prisoners, etc. I understand there was programme to roll out the treatment within prisons. Is the...

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation Accounts 2021
Vote 24 – Justice (25 May 2023) Colm Burke: The treatment programme is ideal. I think a person receiving treatment would have to attend a hepatitis C clinic once a week for a period of either eight or 12 weeks. The advantage of administering treatment in a prison setting is that the person can receive treatment they require there.
