Clinical negligence harms learning Complaint record keeping failures

Full decision

Summary

Mr C complained that the prison health centre unreasonably refused to prescribe him detoxification medication. The board advised that a nurse carried out a number of assessments on Mr C which confirmed that he was not showing signs of withdrawal from drugs. Therefore, it was decided there was no medical need for him to be prescribed detoxification medication. We took independent advice from one of our GP advisers who confirmed that the care provided to Mr C appeared to be appropriate. Therefore, we did not uphold his complaint.
