During an inspection looking at part of the service
Following the inspection the provider wrote to us and told us the actions they would take to ensure the service attained compliance. At a further inspection in February 2014 we found the provider had not made improvements to check and monitor the quality of their service and ensure appropriate systems were in place to identify, assess and manage risks. As this was a continuing breach of the regulations of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 we issued a warning notice.
On 21 May 2014 we carried out an inspection to follow up on the actions the provider had taken as a result of the warning notice. We found the provider had ensured that they were monitoring the quality of their service and that appropriate systems were in place to identify, assess and manage risks to the health, safety and welfare of people using the service and staff.
At the inspection however, we identified additional areas of concern because the service did not have appropriate medicines in place to deal with foreseeable emergencies, and had not tested a piece of equipment to ensure it was safe. The provider wrote to us following the inspection and told about the action they had taken to ensure equipment was tested and that people could be safely supported in the event of a medical emergency.
