Recommendations
Be that as it may, I consider it, conscious as I am of the benefit of hindsight, unwise to allow any prisoner who is assessed as a suicide risk access to a belt. Such access is a fact relevant to this death which SPS may wish to consider.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks.
