Gareth Warburton

(1) Letters dated 16.10.17 and 27.11.17 from Mr. Warburton's treating clinician at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham to then Governor of HMP Hewell Gareth Sands, highlighting concern about the prescription error; asking for more information about the error; and seeking assurances that Mr: Warburton continue to receive all required medication, were neither acknowledged nor answered by the Governor; (2)_Furthermore,although such letters ought to have_ been passed on to the prison To and being: my would healthcare team, the evidence suggested that this was not done: Investigations carried out by current Governor Anthony Morrow failed to establish what had happened to these letters; (3) As to the suggestion that perhaps these letters were never received by the prison, it was apparent that the same letters had been sent to, and received by , members of Mr: Warburton's family; (4) Accordingly, am satisfied that it is probable that these letters did reach the prison, but were not dealt with satisfactorily; (5) am concerned that; as long as there is a risk that letters which seek or contain important information about a prisoner's health and welfare are not dealt and go unanswered, there remains a risk to prisoners' lives at HMP Hewell:
