A Nottinghamshire mental health hospital has again been ordered to improve
after a visit from the healthcare watchdog, which said its standards of care were “totally unacceptable”.
The commission’s latest report says a patient died on December 28 after leaving the hospital. Another patient was injured after getting onto the hospital roof on January 15. A spokesperson for the hospital said the service “has improved” since the inspection in January and recruited to 33 posts. “Following this recent inspection, the provider remained in breach of regulations in relation to staff training, restrictive practice, ineffective information systems and manging items which may present a risk to people.
The report, published on June 23, said that staff on the wards were not aware of the missing persons policy.
