A similar concern from this report was raised again 1 time later. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. lack of Naloxone availability and training in prisons
“all staff including non-health care staff and operational/security staff should have training in recognising and responding to opiate overdose including using available Naloxone. Naloxone should be available in resuscitation kits and risk assessed areas in the prison so that it can be accessed and administered by clinical and non- clinical staff as per the local protocol”

This report
“all staff including non-health care staff and operational/security staff should have training in recognising and responding to opiate overdose including using available Naloxone.”
Later report
“I am concerned that this set of circumstances raises the risk of future deaths occurring because the provision of naloxone kits could be made more widely available to those most likely to need them.”
