A hospital has been issued with enforcement action after its children’s services were rated inadequate by health inspectors, who found corridors filled with children and adults waiting to be seen.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said that the Skylark ward, which provides care for children at Kettering General Hospital (KGH), was understaffed and inspectors found evidence of poor record-keeping, as well as a lack of equipment such as thermometers, which could put patients at risk.
