Deighton

Emily Soothill, from law firm Deighton Pierce Glynn, said victims of torture and trafficking should not be housed at Wethersfield.

"Our client's focus is on his soldiers left behind in Afghanistan, some of whom have been killed while they wait for these heavily delayed protection decisions," said Dan Carey, a partner at Deighton Pierce Glynn.

Following the conclusion of the inquest, Amalia King - of Deighton Pierce Glynn - which represents Binfield's family, said Lowdham Grange "is a stark example of how leadership failures create unsafe conditions for all those living and working in a prison".

Rory Deighton, of the NHS Confederation, which represents hospitals, said much of it was out of the control of individual hospitals and due to the "cards many have been dealt".

"This impacts how productive each trust can be," Mr Deighton said.
