“It's always a last resort for CQC to take action which results in a place people call home closing.”
What Catriona Eglinton has said

“When our inspectors visited The Chase, we found a service where poor leadership had allowed a closed culture to develop. It was also a culture where people's basic rights to dignity and safety weren't being upheld, and where the same concerns we'd identified at our previous inspection still hadn't been addressed.”
