The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. lack of coordination between prison healthcare provider and prison staff regarding substance influence protocols

    “The evidence at the inquest revealed that the (primary) prison healthcare provider (within the prison) and prison staff are working to different policies and protocols in relation to those suspected to be 'under the influence of illicit substances'; there is confusion and lack of awareness of those working in the prison as to the role and responsibilities and expectations about how to alert and manage a concern that a prisoner may be under the influence.”
