Clinical negligence harms learning

Full decision

Summary

Mr C asked the prison health centre to prescribe him a medicine used in the treatment of opiate addiction. The prison health centre refused and explained to Mr C that he did not meet the relevant criteria.

We took independent medical advice. We found that the decision to refuse to prescribe Mr C the medicine he requested was taken following a thorough clinical assessment and that the care and treatment given to him was reasonable. We therefore did not uphold Mr C's complaint.
