During a routine inspection

Patients we spoke with told us that they were treated with dignity and respect and one patient stated "My space was always respected by staff". Detained patients told us that they were informed of their rights under the Mental Health Act 1983. Informal patients told us that they were allowed to leave the wards at any time, if they wanted to.

Most patients we spoke with told us that they had designated key workers and individual care plans. The majority of patients told us that there had been a recent improvement in the standard of the food and it was nutritious, with sufficient choice.

Most patients we spoke with told us that staff gave them adequate support. One patient described the staff as "helpful and hardworking".
