<p>The death of a prisoner or of any other person must be reported immediately to
HMPPS HQ by telephone. That report must then be followed up with a written report
within 24 hours (or, at weekends, by the following Monday). In the case of a deceased
prisoner, the prison must also report the death to the Prisons & Probation Ombudsman
in writing, within 24 hours. Reports to HMPPS are sent daily to Ministers’ offices
and to the relevant officials in my Department, including the team who oversee the
progress of the Ombudsman’s investigations.</p>
