Dear Prisons and Probation Ombudsman for England and Wales,

Can you please provide me with any information you hold as to "NEWS2" - a scoring tool used to assess the severity of a patient’s illness - which you refer to in your reports.
I am particularly interested in when it should be used, what its use shows, and the training necessary for those who deploy it.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Leech
