3. Total Prisons Contract: SROI Review
Dental Services within HMP Highpoint, HMP Hollesley Bay, HMP Warren Hill and HMP Chelmsford
Per the SROI calculation:
● Over £20k savings have been obtained by preventing prisoners attending emergency appointment by providing treatment for pain reduction. Also, as a result of zero prisoners in pain at the start of their treatment requiring an external appointment, an approximate saving of £35k has been calculated.
● 467 FP17 forms were completed indicating prisoners had no active dental decay by the end of treatment. Assuming that if dental decay had not been treated and at least one further nurse session would be required, this would cost approximately another £16k.
● treatment plans were completed which included a comprehensive patient history and treatment plan ensuring that re-referral would be unlikely. On the basis that this has avoided further Band 1 introductory session costs, this has provided savings of over £24k.
● Waiting times have been reduced to ensure that the next available routine appointment is within the recommended time of 6 weeks. At the time of inheriting the contract, over 250 prisoners were waiting greater than this threshold for the next available appointment. Therefore assuming that longer waiting times result in worsening conditions and more severe treatment required, a saving of nearly £14k has been made.
● Overall, for every £1 invested 36p of social value is delivered. (contracts total greater than £300k)
