Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 2

Some relatives felt that communication was good and they were able to be involved in improving people’s experiences. People were supported to access healthcare, however there was no evidence on how lessons were learnt or improvements identified. We found little evidence to show where people and their relatives were consulted in a meaningful way about their experience when accessing local health services and community facilities.

The registered manager and staff were not able to demonstrate during the assessment how they sought people's feedback about their experience when accessing health services and other local facilities. The provider did not analyse or identify ways in which they could further improve people's experience to prevent discrimination for people who have protected characteristics.

Processes were in place to enable people to access health services and their needs were initially assessed. However, there was a lack of evidence of seeking people's views about their experience in relation to health and community services to prevent discrimination for people who have protected characteristics.
