Healthcare staff at a young offenders institute are feeling “over-stretched and stressed” because of their high workload, an inspection has found.
Prison inspectors described this is a “key concern” and said that reducing the increased demands on nursing time and resources should be treated as a priority at HMP Young Offenders Institute (YOI) Grampian.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland (HMIPS) carried out a liaison visit to the facility in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, on November 4-5 2020.
The visits are carried out to provide assurance to ministers and the wider public that scrutiny of the treatment and conditions in which prisoners are held has been continued during the pandemic.
