Would you be willing to talk about your experience of detention health care?

o All those with experience of health services in immigration detention are welcome (although the group is being organised by the AIDS and Human Rights project, they are interested in all experiences of health care in detention, not just those of people who are HIV+)

o There will not be any MPs at the focus group, but the experiences you describe will be fed back to MPs by Delphine Valette.

*The audit is looking at specific issues, including sex work, prisons, asylum and immigration and children. Through research, written evidence provided by organisations and individuals and Parliamentary Hearings, this project will provide a comprehensive and accurate account of the impact of Governmental policies on HIV-related rights and will be used as an advocacy tool to stimulate legal and policy reform.
