1st January 1970 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made pdf icon

We carried out an announced focused inspection of healthcare services provided by G4S Health Services (UK) Limited (G4S) at HMP and YOI Low Newton on 26 February 2019.

Following our last joint inspection with Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) in February 2018, we found that the quality of healthcare provided by G4S at this location did not meet regulations. We issued one Requirement Notice in relation to Regulation 12, Safe Care and Treatment, of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

The purpose of this inspection was to determine if the healthcare services provided by G4S were now meeting the legal requirements and regulations under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and that patients were receiving safe care and treatment.

We do not currently rate services provided in prisons.

At this focused inspection we found:

  • The provider had worked with other healthcare providers to improve safe prescribing and administration of medicines.

  • The provider had made improvements to the management of medicines including ensuring patients were appropriately risk assessed when prescribed medicines.

The provider had carried out a risk assessment to ensure that staff had easy access to emergency equipment and medicines.
