Full Decision

Summary

Mr C, who is a prisoner, complained about being allocated to work in a prison work unit which was unsuitable for his asthma. However, on contacting the prison, we learned that they had sorted the problem out by finding him a place in a suitable unit. We did not consider, therefore, that there was anything further we could do and we closed the complaint after writing to explain this to Mr C.
