Every removal centre is required to have a health care team, at least one member of which must be a doctor trained as a general practitioner, to provide primary health care services to detainees. Removal centre contractors operate healthcare by a mixture of full-time employees and outsourced providers. No centre directly employs a doctor; their services are provided under contract by local practices or the local primary care trusts or health authority, and therefore there are no full-time equivalents. Doctors are required to provide surgeries on site between certain times and for agreed volumes of hours; the rest of the time the centre is serviced by an on call doctor service. The cover provided by general practitioners for each immigration removal centre is as follows.
Campsfield—The GP conducts a two hours surgery Monday to Friday and on-call cover is provided out of hours, at night and weekends.
Colnbrook—There are two GPs conducting surgeries between 8a.m and 5p.m Monday to Friday and Saturday 8a.m. until noon. An on-call service is available at all other times.
