🏥 Inspectors rated Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust inadequate after finding blanket restrictions in place, which stopped people from accessing the gardens, bedrooms, bathrooms and even the toilets PMGallagher1 reports

Inspectors found very high levels of vacancies across both wards with many different temporary staff unfamiliar with the patients and their needs. At the time of inspection, the vacancy rate for registered nurses was 81 per cent in one ward and 56 per cent in the other. Managers were heavily reliant on the use of agency staff to fill shifts.

The CQC said it would continue to monitor the service and, if the required improvements are not made in a reasonable time, would not hesitate to take further action.
