“We identified six breaches of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

“At the last comprehensive inspection this provider was placed into special measures by CQC.

“This inspection found that there was not enough improvement to take the provider out of special measures. CQC is now considering the appropriate regulatory response to resolve the problems we found.”
