The service had made improvements and is no longer in breach of regulations. The management team now had oversight of the service. There were effective systems for assessing, monitoring and improving the quality and safety of the service. These included regular audits of various aspects of care and record keeping, of health and safety, and of how the service was run. Any shortfalls were addressed and put right. The management team notified CQC of significant events, as required in law. This helps CQC monitor the services we regulate.
