Summary

Mr C complained to us about the care and treatment he had received from the board at a prison health centre in relation to his stomach pains. We took independent advice from a medical adviser. We found that the care provided to Mr C in relation to his stomach pains had been of a reasonable standard and we did not uphold the complaint.

Mr C also complained that the board failed to provide a reasonable response to his complaints about this. We were satisfied that the board had acted in line with their complaints procedure and that they had issued a reasonable response to Mr C's concerns. In view of this, we did not uphold this aspect of Mr C's complaint.
