This data element is used in conjunction with the data element: Establishment (prison)—Aboriginal community controlled health organisation or Aboriginal medical service service provider type, occupation code (ANZSCO 1st edition) N[NNN]{NN} to provide information on the involvement of Aboriginal health services in the provision of general and mental health care to Indigenous prisoners.
Comments:
The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody recommended that corrective services, in conjunction with Aboriginal health services, should review and report upon the provision of health services to Aboriginal prisoners in correctional institutions and that this review should include, amongst other things, the involvement of Aboriginal health services in the provision of general and mental health care to Aboriginal prisoners (AIHW 2010).
