According to the Daily Star, West has to escorted to the prison medical centre and pharmacy for treatment.
A source told the paper: “She is very ill.
“Her medical records are closely guarded, and she has a very small circle of staff and fellow inmates in jail, so hardly anyone knows exactly what’s wrong with her.

According to the insider, the prison is locked down while West is taken for treatment so that she does not get attacked by other inmates.

Rose and husband Fred West were arrested after nine bodies were found on the property of their home in Cromwell Street, Gloucester.
The couple’s daughter, Heather, was among the victims, while other bodies were found of children as young as 12.
