Detainee access to test results from Bedford Hospital
Yarl's Wood removal centre management have specified - in total contradiction to statements by 7 detainees - that access to results of tests at Bedford hospital is facilitated, not obstructed, by escorts, Yarl's Wood staff and Yarl's Wood health centre.
