Multiple ligature points and other issues have been found at The Priory in Marchwood, England, after a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, according to an article on the Southern Daily Echo website.
The CQC report says inspectors identified “multiple ligature points” – handles and other objects that could be used by patients intent on self-harm.
Evidence was found evidence tof a significant number of incidents involving ligatures in the previous 12 months.
The report raises several other concerns, claiming the poor layout of the building prevents staff from easily observing all parts of the wards.
