The report, published today, was highly critical of one ward where residents found it difficult to access outdoor spaces because nurses were often not available to accompany them. However, the report is still critical of the conditions and the approach to care and treatment in the centre.The Jonathan Swift Clinic was not the only centre to come in for criticism. St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin was labelled “high risk” in the areas of individual care planning and more generally the state of the premises.
In terms of patient care, the inspectors noted that this was the third year in a row that the centre had failed to comply with individual care planning regulations.Related Reads 01.01.20 Mental health services failing vulnerable, warns sister of patient held in jail 01.11.19 Patients sleeping on floor of Waterford psychiatric unit described as 'shocking' 25.10.
