Prisoner who stabbed friend in row over bus pass died in custody after 'unnecessary delays' to his cancer treatment
A prisoner jailed for stabbing a friend following a row over a bus pass died in custody after 'unnecessary delays' to his cancer treatment following his diagnosis, a watchdog has said after an investigation.
This didn't have an effect on the outcome - his death - but the watchdog ordered the prison's health bosses to review their procedures, reveals a report. But the now published report of the investigation said the PPO was 'concerned to find that there were unnecessary delays to Petersen’s cancer treatment following diagnosis'.
The PPO said: "We are concerned that these serious procedural issues were not followed up by the prison. Although there is no evidence of an impact on the outcome for Mr Petersen, it is important that the process is revised in order to prevent delays for future patients, for whom timely treatment might make a difference."
