§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to publish the results of the inquiry into the events at Holloway Prison on 13 August 1998. [69259]
§ Mr. George HowarthAn internal Prison Service inquiry into a series of incidents connected to the non-issue of medication to prisoners at Holloway prison has been completed. The Prison Service does not normally publish the findings of internal investigation reports.
The inquiry did, however, recognise some serious shortcomings in the management of medication which have now been addressed. The area manager and the governor are currently instituting a series of changes to ensure the effective delivery of medical services at the prison.
