His Majesty’s Prison Dovegate is a private category B training prison with capacity for approximately 1160 male prisoners. Practice Plus Group (PPG) provides health and social care services for men at the prison including nursing, GP, mental health, substance misuse and pharmacy services. This inspection was an announced focused inspection carried out on 30 October 2024. It was carried out to confirm the provider had carried out their plan to meet the legal requirements in relation to 2 breaches of regulations we identified during our previous comprehensive inspection between 2nd October 2023 and 5th October 2023. We issued 2 requirement notices in relation to safe care and good governance. The previous inspection was conducted in partnership with His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) as part of CQC’s joint inspection programme for prisons. During this inspection we looked at 3 quality statements. In addition, we reviewed the breaches from the last inspection. We found the provider had addressed the previous breaches and were now compliant with regulations. CQC does not rate services provided in prisons.
