During a routine inspection

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) had met with members of Humber NHS Foundation Trust (FT) Committee and with the Board of Governors to share information. We had looked at information obtained from the CQC Mental Health Inspectorate visits to speak with detained patients over the last year. We had also consulted 'Monitor', the independent regulator of NHS Foundation Trusts who told us they had no concerns about Humber NHS FT.

When we visited St Andrew's Place we spoke with three patients, two staff, the unit manager, the on site Occupational Therapist and Clinical Psychologist. We looked round the premises and we looked at documentary evidence for four of the 'Essential Standards for Safety and Equality' outcomes. We also received copies of the provider's organisation 'Provider Compliance Assessments' and one specific to the unit.

Patients told us they were happy with the way they had been treated. One patient said, 'I get round the clock support, staff keep 'lifting' me and make me feel better.' Another patient said, 'It's okay here, the staff are good.'

We found there were some shortfalls with the premises, that staff were properly recruited and that the unit maintained quality monitoring systems.
