Summary
Mr C complained that the prison health centre unreasonably decided to discontinue his medication when he failed a medication check. Mr C said the prison health centre failed to take account of the fact that he had reported to them that he was being bullied for his medication.
The prison health centre considered that Mr C had not been taking the medication as prescribed and therefore the medication was stopped to maintain his safety. The decision was reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team who assessed that there was no significant clinical risk to Mr C ceasing to receive the medication.
Before we reached a decision on Mr C's complaint, he requested to withdraw his complaint. Therefore, we closed the complaint without reaching a decision.
