This DSS includes all prescribed medications administered on one day during the National Prisoner Health Census period and depot medications i.e. medications injected so absorption occurs over a prolonged period, whether or not they were administered on the census day. Routine household-type medications, such as paracetamol, taken on an as-needed basis are not included. |
