Patrick McCartan
Ceist:185 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Justice the reasons for the obligatory segregation of prisoners diagnosed as HIV or HIV positive in the prison system; if he has considered the implications of such a policy on doctor-patient confidentiality where the test is carried out within the prison; if it is intended to continue the policy of segregation where the prisoner requests that they be allowed stay in the main body of the prison; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
