[9] There are no recommendations for changes to practices or procedures which could have altered the course of events. The following matters, however, should be given consideration:- (1) Whether clarification is required about the use of the addiction assessment form in HM Prison, Edinburgh in relation to alcohol detoxification. (See paragraphs 61 and 62.) (2) Further training or instructions in relation to clear communications and use of codes in emergencies in HM Prison, Edinburgh. (See paragraphs 70 to 80.) (3) How the Scottish Court Service, in consultation with, for example, the Judiciary, Reliance and the Scottish Prison Service, might best ensure that social enquiry, psychiatric and other medical reports tendered to the court at sentence are transmitted to the prison or detention centre when an offender is sentenced to a term of imprisonment. (See paragraphs 85 to 88.) (4) Whether procedures on admission in relation to establishing medical prescriptions require revision. (See paragraphs 96 and 97.)
