This article reviews the development of the healthcare provision in youth offending teams (YOTs), and the implications of this for improving provision for adults supervised by probation. The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) made healthcare funding a statutory requirement in YOTs, and healthcare presence in most YOTs was significantly boosted by the collaborative commissioning initiative. There is no parallel commissioning initiative in adult probation services. Only a small proportion of NHS clinical commissioning groups make specific investment for this population. Pockets of healthcare provision in probation settings exist, but not consistently. We argue that this represents a major social inequality.

本文回顾了青少年犯罪团队 (YOT) 中医疗保健提供的发展，以及这对改善受缓刑监督的成年人提供的影响。《犯罪和混乱法》（1998 年）将医疗保健资金作为 YOT 的法定要求，并且大多数 YOT 的医疗保健存在因协作委托计划而得到显着提升。成人缓刑服务没有平行的委托计划。只有一小部分 NHS 临床委托小组为这一人群进行了特定投资。缓刑环境中存在医疗保健提供的口袋，但并非始终如一。我们认为这代表了一个重大的社会不平等。
