H 2832 An Act relative to health services in Massachusetts correctional institutions

This legislation will ensure that individuals in the criminal justice system receive medically necessary drug treatment and rehabilitation services as well as appropriate medical services in a timely manner. The legislation will also require the state to consolidate the administration of prison health care systems in an effort to control costs while maintaining high quality health care services. (This is a refile of H. 1487 filed in the 2009-2010 Legislative Session.)
