This study has shown that offenders have significantly worse health than the general population and that their health needs are different, in a number of respects, to those of prisoners. It also shows that offenders will consent to a health assessment and that this sort of assessment could be fitted into face-to-face contact with offenders on probation. The key finding to emerge from the study, perhaps, is that whilst community-based offenders seem to access healthcare at the same rate as the general population their health needs are likely to be significantly higher. Thus, supply is much lower than this needs assessment would indicate is appropriate. A much more rigorous research study should be undertaken that: Assesses the validity of offenders’ self-report of access to health services; obtains a representative sample; examines prospectively the relationship between health status, health care and reoffending; estimates the cost of healthcare to community-based offenders and the possible tradeoff obtained in reducing the costs of re-offending.
