A learning disability centre has been branded 'inadequate' by a watchdog after investigators found it 'did not provide safe care'. LANCuk, in Heywood, was 'not well led' and could not 'mitigate the possible misuse of prescriptions' - as well as having a 'two-month backlog of letters for GPs and patients which could delay people’s care and treatment and put them at risk'.
LANCuk (Learning Assessment and Neurocare Centre) provides assessment and treatment for both children and adults for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. The site, in Adelaide Street, was inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) at the end of March and early April - after previous visit last October, when the service was rated inadequate and placed in special measures.
