David Williams, Chief Officer, Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) said:  “We are pleased to note that the report acknowledges the work undertaken to address the recommendations made following their 2013 inspection. There has been significant financial  investment in this service over the past year.

“Clearly there is still work to do and we have developed an action plan to address the issues identified in the inspection and expect to be in an improved position when the inspectors revisit in early 2018. We are disappointed that the report graded our service as poor when there were many positives identified and we have reflected that to the inspectors.

“Providing prisoners in Low Moss with healthcare provision which best meets their needs is our priority as is their wellbeing, which is also extremely important.  As well as providing information about healthcare services during the induction process, we also ensure they have access to a range of specialist services.”
