Some prisons may have speech and language therapists in post while others may be brought in as required, however this data is not held centrally. People in prison are entitled to the same standard and range of health and social care services as they would receive in the community.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
