    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of adequate healthcare resources for prison re-rolls

    Wider context from the report

    “• The evidence indicated that one of the primary reasons for this was lack of preparation by the Prison Authorities staff and an inability to cope with the types of prisoners who were transferred to HMP Rye Hill. The clinical review undertaken by Healthcare Inspectorate Wales was critical of the care he received at HMP Rye Hill and the evidence clearly indicated that a lack of preparation for the re-roll and the lack of adequate resources were the primary reason for this substandard care. • Whilst it is appreciated that HMP Rye Hill may not be subject to a further re-roll it is of concern that other re-rolls nationally may be being considered and which may conceivably give rise to issues similar to those presented in this case. ”
