Summary
C complained that the board had unreasonably stopped their medication in prison. We took advice on the complaint from a medical adviser. The medication had been stopped after a check had been carried out and it had been found that some of C's medication was missing. We found that it had been reasonable to stop the medication and that the care provided to C had been reasonable. Medical staff had acknowledged C's mental health conditions and had directed them to engage with the mental health team. We did not uphold the complaint.
