- 219)
WEDNESDAY 18 OCTOBER 2000
SIR DAVID
RAMSBOTHAM, MR
COLIN ALLEN
AND MR
GEOFFREY HUGHES
Chairman
218. We will go over the various bits. There
was a delay of six months between you finishing the report and
it actually getting published. Can you just take us through what
happens when you finish?
(Sir David Ramsbotham) I can tell you what happened
as far as we were concerned. When the inspection was finished
on 21st January Mr Colin Allen, my deputy chief inspector, who
was there at that time, and Mr Geoffrey Hughes, who was the team
leader, debriefed the Governor and Senior Management Team of the
prison on what we had found, and that debrief, which we do at
every inspection, is attended by the Area Manager and the Chairman
of the Board of Visitors.
