Palliative and End of Life Care in Scottish Prisons.

Given the recent report by the Scottish Parliament Health and Sport Committee looking at Healthcare in Prisons, and a recent report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons entitled Who Cares? The lived experience of older prisoners in Scottish prisons, this meeting of the Cross Party Group provided an opportunity to explore and discuss palliative and end of life care in Scottish Prisons.

Presentations were given by:

• Pete White, Chief Executive, Positive Prison
• Gail Allan, Macmillan Palliative Care Coordinator for Prisons
  
• Nigel Ironside, Governor, HMP Glenochil
