The contribution of service users who have first-hand experience of using the healthcare services within prisons is essential to the delivery of effective services and in informing the commissioning process. NHS England have a statutory duty, under Section 13Q of the Health and Social Care Act 2006 to involve and listen to the voice of those with lived experience in the design, delivery and ongoing performance of our commissioned health services. To support NHS England Health and Justice South West in meeting these obligations, the aims of the Lived Experience service are: • To enable all service users to effectively contribute to the continuous improvement of NHS England Health and Justice South West commissioned healthcare services in prisons, as well as being supported to have an independent voice, through various forms of engagement and regular feedback to the prison, the healthcare providers and commissioners. • To enable commissioners to receive clearly the voice of their service users to inform decision-making in relation to healthcare provision. • To help ensure outcomes for patients in the Health and Justice system are equivalent to those in the wider community. The service will be expected to develop a range of appropriate opportunities and activities that engage service users and support their ability to contribute their experience of commissioned healthcare services. This will be through a variety of methods developed to facilitate and deliver meaningful activity.
