Scandal-hit mental health services branded unsafe and ordered to change amid patient abuse allegations
Greater Manchester's mental health trust has been served with warning notices to improve after inspectors found the service to be unsafe.
The trust has also been under scrutiny after three young people died within nine months, with families saying staff needed to be held to account. The CQC report said inspections over the summer found problems with the assessment of suicide risk, the way medicines were managed, cleanliness, consent to treatment and the safety of patients.
The warning notices set out a legally set timescale for the trust to improve. NHS England has also put the trust into its Recovery Support Programme, the equivalent of 'special measures', and will commission an independent review into the failings identified within the trust’s services. “The trust did not provide responsive care in all services. Bed occupancy often exceeded 100% and patients did not always have a bed when they returned from leave.Patients also told inspectors there were not a lot of activities on the wards “other than television”, while “food portions were small” and patients thought “the food was unpleasant”. After the inspections, the CQC said the overall rating for acute wards for adults and intensive care had deteriorated from good to inadequate.
