Inspection history
| Published | Overall | Change | Transition | AI summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-09-06 | Inadequate | new | Unrated→Inadequate | The Conifers received an Inadequate rating due to widespread and significant failures in safety, leadership and governance. Critical issues included unsafe medicine storage and administration, inadequate staffing levels (particularly at night), poor environmental conditions with mould and fire safety breaches, and a lack of effective quality monitoring systems that failed to identify or address these problems. The service had not improved since the previous inspection despite being in breach of regulations. |
