During a routine inspection

We spoke with several detainees and most said they were given sufficient information about the primary care services available in the prison. Most detainees told us that they were satisfied with the quality of the primary care services they received and felt their needs were being met.

One detainee told us that he was seen and assessed "fairly promptly" by the GP and said he was satisfied with the treatment he received. Another detainee told us he was treated with respect and dignity, but one detainee was particularly dissatisfied. He said this was because his healthcare needs were ignored and he was not being treated with respect by staff. This information was shared with staff for further follow up.
