We do not currently rate independent standalone substance misuse services.
This was a focused inspection relating to issues identified at a previous inspection.
We issued a requirement notice following a comprehensive inspection in February 2016 relating to one breach of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. The breach was in relation to regulation 5 (fit and proper persons: directors).
At this inspection, we assessed whether the service provider had made improvements to their arrangements for checking that the directors were fit and proper, which we identified in the requirement notice. We found that the provider had made the improvements and met the requirement notice.
At the last inspection in February 2016, we also found areas that the provider should take steps to improve. These were:
- The provider should ensure that all staff are aware of and understand the principles of the duty of candour.
- The provider should ensure that staff receive training so they understand the Mental Capacity Act.
At this inspection we were assured by looking at records and speaking with the staff on duty that the provider had taken steps to ensure that these areas had been addressed.
