Summary
Mr C complained about the adequacy of the overnight snack provision in prison for insulin dependent diabetics. He did not consider that the contents of the pack were sufficient for his needs. We took independent medical advice and made some enquiries of the Scottish Prison Service. We were advised that the contents of Mr C's snack pack had since been amended in line with an instruction from a prison doctor. We tried contacting Mr C to discuss the latest position but he did not respond to us. We, therefore, closed his complaint without reaching a finding.
