Recommendations

Recommendations (the sheriff's words)

I consider that it would be helpful if that information was provided.

In a similar vein, I consider that it would be beneficial if the Doctor carrying out the assessment the day after admission had a copy of the Prisoner Escort Form.

It seems to me that if there are still issues with accessing that data base as a result of geography this should be addressed as soon as possible in order that nurses have as much information to hand as they can when dealing with such queries.

Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
