Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2017-08-22InadequatenewUnratedInadequateThe service was rated Inadequate due to systemic failures in medicines management, ineffective governance and quality assurance systems, and lack of compliance with the Mental Capacity Act. Despite improvements attempted since the previous inspection, significant safety concerns persisted, including medicines administration errors found in 11 of 14 people visited, incomplete risk assessments, and poor incident analysis. The management team's recent changes were recognised, but the scale of embedded issues meant the service failed to meet regulatory requirements.
