SERVICES: A number of mental health services in Luton are moving into a refurbished and extended unit on the Luton and Dunstable Hospital site.
The project will enable the transfer of the crisis resolution team, as well as assessment and admissions inpatient services which have been provided at Oakley Court, in Luton.
The CEO of a trust subject to an inquiry into mental health deaths has claimed the organisation has “moved forward” from a defensive and secretive culture to being more open with patients and their families.
A new chief executive has been announced for a trust with major plans to rebuild a hospital in the East of England.
Former Labour health and social care secretary Patricia Hewitt has urged the new government to select a group of integrated care systems as “testbeds” for radically different ways of funding and delivering health and social care.
A statutory inquiry into the deaths of around 2,000 mental health patients could be expanded because of ‘ongoing concerns’ about the safety of services, the inquiry’s new chair has said.
High use of agency staff contributed to the care failings exposed at a mental health trust by undercover reporters, an internal inquiry has found.
Just one in five staff who were approached in a trust’s internal inquiry – prompted by an undercover broadcast raising serious care concerns – engaged with the process, a report has revealed.
