Mr. Ramsey said the findings from the Ombudsman’s investigation must ensure that nothing like what happened to Sean Lynch ever happens again. “I asked, very clearly, if what happened to Sean could have been prevented because, I believe, it could and should have been prevented,” said Mr Ramsey. “First and foremost, Sean Lynch’s health must be a priority for the prison system’s health care authorities, and he must receive the care and support he needs and deserves. “However, it is crucial lessons from this heartbreaking situation are learned so it never happens again - to Sean or to any other vulnerable person in custody. “There must be clear protocols and codes of practice implemented by the Health Care Trust and the Prison Service, and the PSNI, to ensure nothing of this nature happens again and that anyone in custody who is vulnerable causes such a horrific level of self-harm. “I am demanding that health care authorities in the Prison Service co-operate fully and share information about Sean Lynch’s case with the Ombudsman’s investigation to achieve clearly defined outcomes.”
