Well-led

Requires improvement

Updated 14 March 2024

We found the governance systems and processes were not always effective as they did not always identify shortfalls within the service. During our assessment of this key question, we found concerns around provider audits, oversight and leadership of the service which resulted in a breach of Regulation 17 Good governance (1) (2) (a) (b) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. You can find more details of our concerns in the evidence category findings below.
