£1 million boost to improve healthcare provision for people in custody in Kettering and Northampton The investment will provide better support for detained people and reduce the amount of time officers spend away from their policing duties while taking detainees for medical treatment elsewhere. Under a new five-year contract between Northamptonshire Police, Northamptonshire Healthcare Foundation Trust and the county’s police and crime commissioner, full-time healthcare will be available to detainees in the custody facilities in Kettering and Northampton.
The service will be available all day, every day, meaning that detained people will have access to a full range of treatment and assessment on-site and that police officers are far less likely to escort a detainee off-site. Northamptonshire Telegraph
