Staff at the Verne Immigration Removal Centre in Dorset told an inquest jury yesterday that medicine monitoring practice could have been better back in 2014, when a young man died in their care.

A nurse told the jury at Dorchester Coroner’s Court that there were “better systems in place now” and that things had changed after “what happened to Bruno”.
