WINNIPEG — A Manitoba judge is calling for a full review of health-care services at the Winnipeg Remand Centre where an inmate died after suffering seizures.
Provincial court Judge Heather Pullan says nurses and correctional officers at the centre should be trained to handle seizures and an independent body should be hired to review the centre’s medical unit.
Pullan also says responsibility for inmates’ medical care should be transferred from the provincial Justice Department to the Health Department.
