In August, a damning report was released by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which the victims’ families said “demonstrates gross, systemic failures in the mental health trust”.
Rampton Hospital, a high-security facility run by the trust, was rated inadequate by a CQC report published in January.
A special review was commissioned in March, which has since found “a number of failings” in relation to safety and quality of care across community mental health services and Rampton Hospital.
The review also outlined failings in care in “relation to a serious homicide incident”, for which NHS England has commissioned an Independent Homicide Investigation.
Any recommendations that arise from that should be included in the trust’s plan, the report added.
