Coroner’s Concerns
The MATTERS OF CONCERNS are as follows: I have two concerns; firstly, it became apparent during the course of the evidence that ACCT reviews were being conducted on many occasions without someone from Healthcare being in attendance. Secondly in this particular case there were four separate ACCT’s and it was apparent that not all relevant information available from previous ACCT’s was taken into consideration when a new ACCT was opened.
Action Should Be Taken
With regard to my first concern, I would request that consideration be given to make the requirement for attendance by someone from healthcare, who has knowledge of the prisoner/patient mandatory at first reviews and when the decision is made to close the ACCT. In addition if they do not attend the review should be postponed. In terms of the ACCT, I would ask for consideration to be given to a local policy whereby if an ACCT has been opened for a particular prisoner and subsequently closed, if there is a subsequent event requiring the protection of an ACCT the previous one should be reopened rather than an entirely different document. This would go some way to ensure continuity and would make the first Care Map available to the staff. 7 YOUR RESPONSE You are under a duty to respond to this report within 56 days of the date of this report, namely by 1st January 2020.
