2021-02-26Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementLynfield received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because of significant deficiencies in safe recruitment procedures and inconsistent governance and oversight. Whilst staff were caring and medicines were well-managed, the service failed to ensure safe recruitment practices and had not robustly assessed and mitigated all environmental risks, which could have placed people at increased risk of harm. Additionally, senior management oversight of quality and safety needed to be more effective.
