Corrections Act 2004, s 165
A Health File is developed for each prisoner. It contains a record of all your health information.
Every entry or change to the Health File must be clearly signed by the person making the entry or change.
Your Health File is securely stored in the prison health centre and goes with you if you’re transferred to another prison.
When you’re released, your file is not destroyed and is stored at the prison in an envelope. It’s kept separately and securely from current prisoners’ files.
