A specialist team within the Authority's commission Health & Justice services within London. The team are responsible for appointing Clinical Reviewers to Prison and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) investigations when deaths within the secure London estate occur - the secure estate includes seven adult prisons in London, one young offenders' institution, and two Heathrow Immigration Removal Centres (IRC). Clinical Reviewers conduct independent Clinical Reviews as part of wider investigations led by the PPO into deaths that occur within the secure estate in London, and in rare cases deaths of patients recently released from custody or detention. The role of a Clinical Reviewer is to examine the clinical care pertinent to the death, provided to the deceased, whilst in custody, and to determine whether the care was equivalent, in accordance with national guidance, standards and local policy, to the care that one could expect to receive in the community. In 2021, there were 26 deaths in custody within London, in 2022 there were 6 and in 2023 there were 22. The Clinical Reviewers Framework, re-procured, is expected to commence in January 2025 (subject to change) with Reviewers commissioned on an ad hoc basis to conduct three levels of review: - Level one - a desk-based review of records and the production of a written report - Level two - a desk-based review of records, interviews with healthcare staff and the production of a written report - And level three - a panel review with a lead Reviewer and multi-disciplinary input, including a desk-based review of records, interviews with healthcare staff and a written report.
