Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health NHS Trust - Care Quality Commission

So the The Care Quality Commission (CQC)has said the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health NHS Trust failed in four out of five areas of its inspection in June , hardly a great surprise to people in the MH field . In its report the COC expressed "serious concerns" about the numbers of people failing to get treatment during a trust revamp, the trust in a response said some of the problems had been resolved and that redesigned services "would bring benefits" rather worrying that"SOME OF THE PROBLEMS " have been resolved !! The report found that the trust did protect people from abuse, but that there were not enough staff to keep people safe and meet their health and welfare needs. "There were insufficient qualified, skilled experienced staff to meet people's needs," the report said. "The provider was not meeting this standard. We judged that this had a moderate impact on people using the service." Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Trust provides specialist mental health services for the Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire area .
