Abstract
"When entering prison, all prisoners should be able to have access to a member of the prison health service without delay. The interview and medical examination on admission, which might also include an evaluation of the prisoner's mental health, should be carried out by a doctor (cf. paragraph 29 of Recommendation (87) 3 on the European Prison Rules); however, availability of staff must be taken into account and the new prisoner's first contact with the medical service may on occasion be carried out by a fully qualified nurse responsible to a doctor to whom he or she may transmit any request for a consultation or care necessitating the involvement of a qualified doctor. While in custody, all prisoners should be able at any time to have access to a doctor or a fully qualified nurse without undue delay."
