What inspectors found
At our previous inspection we found the systems to monitor and assess the quality and safety of the service were not robust. At this inspection we found that improvements had been made and professional input had been sought. However, governance processes had not identified all the issues we found on this inspection and actions required to remedy the identified concerns had not yet been completed. The registered manager assured us that action was being taken to address all the concerns.
