During inspection, improvements were identified in several areas. The safe management of medicines required attention, with inconsistent approaches to handling risks affecting people's health and wellbeing. Staff were not consistently following legal frameworks regarding consent.

The governance systems in place were not effectively identifying and resolving issues where the safety and quality of care was compromised.
