Mark has arranged a meeting between Jack Straw, the Lord Chancellor and the family of Martin Green.
Mr Green, originally from Newhall, but latterly of Durham Close, Midway, died on July 15, 2002 - 11 days after admission to Blakenhurst Prison. He died
from dehydration.
The inquest into his death, which concluded in October, stated that the medical care given was inadequate and criticised the failure of the prison
authorities to organise his transfer to hospital when it was acutely needed.
The delay between Martin’s death and the inquest was filled by a lengthy police investigation into the circumstances of his death and long deliberation by
the Crown Prosecution Service over whether criminal charges should be laid against either medical or prison staff.
Last year, Mark asked Jack Straw if he would meet Martin’s family members to discuss what can be learned and how those responsible have been dealt with
since.
The meeting has now been set for January 28. Martin's mother Pamela will attend.
