10. How many complaints in relation to a) health and b) social care in prison have you received over the past 5 years by subject of complaint, broken down by year. Data for all 3 prisons in relation to health only. Significant work has been undertaken in the past 2 years on complaints handling with dedicated Patient Relations Officers allocated to prisons. In terms of performance, it is important to highlight that the complex nature of the prison population, particularly in Glenochil, can lead to high levels of complaints regarding drug administration. In addition there can be very small numbers of prisoners accounting for a high percentage of complaints. These are handled on an individual basis.
