Patients at a mental health hospital in Arnold were not having their risks properly assessed, according to a report. The hospital remains in special measures after a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated its services as 'inadequate'.
The watchdog carried out an inspection of the hospital, which provides acute mental health services for men and women, to follow up on concerns from a previous inspection last year. It said that one patient had used a plastic bag - a restricted item - to try and harm themselves.
The Priory Group-run facility said a "significant amount of work had been done" after the previous inspection, but the latest CQC probe highlighted some issues.
