The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) and NHS England are working together to commission an Integrated Custody Healthcare and Liaison & Diversion service for Cheshire Police custody and court environments.

The Integrated Service will deliver an all-age (adult and youth) comprehensive service across key points of intervention in the criminal justice system, addressing a wide range of health issues and vulnerabilities.
