Stains “likely to be either food or faeces” were left on the ceiling of a Merseyside mental health ward for over a week.
The grim find was made during an inspection of two mental health wards at the Clatterbridge Hospital in Wirral. The inspection, which also included another ward in Macclesfield found conditions have “deteriorated” for vulnerable mental health patients across Cheshire and Wirral.
While the Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s rating overall remains good, it has been issued with a warning notice after an inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
