CQC inspected this service with HMIP between the 8 and 11 February 2016. We found evidence that fundamental standards were not being met and a Requirement Notice was issued in relation to Regulation 12, Safe care and treatment, of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. This report can be found by accessing the following website: https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmiprisons/inspections/hmpyoi-moorland-2/
We carried out this desk based focussed inspection and found that the trust had taken appropriate action.
