Verbatim
“women's day-to-day experiences of kindness often remained strong, the systems underpinning those experiences weren't keeping pace”
“Staffing shortages and operational pressures were having a significant impact on women's care and the choices available to them.”
“Women told us staff were compassionate, caring and went above and beyond for them, and that's clearly something the whole team should be proud of.”
“At this inspection of St Mary's Hospital, we found an emergency department where too many people faced long waits in unsuitable environments.”
“Despite incidents in which people had used items within the department to harm themselves, the service hadn't taken effective action to reduce these risks.”
