Communication ‘poor’ at prison
Wednesday 6th January 2010, 2:29PM GMT.
COMMUNICATION was lacking between those responsible for a prisoner’s care, an inquest heard yesterday.
Alan Schofield, 64, died of a heart attack at Les Nicolles on 11 July while serving a six-week sentence for drink-driving.
Much of yesterday was taken up with evidence from Stuart Morgan, a UK doctor whom the prison ombudsman commissioned to undertake a clinical review of the case from a GP’s perspective.
He told the inquest he had identified deficiencies in communication within the health care team and with disciplinary staff and that there could have been ‘a more positive outcome’ to the matter had that not been the case.
