During a routine inspection
There was a range of views among people we spoke with about the food provided by the hospital. Most found it satisfactory; a few said it was nice and a few said it was not appetising.
People we spoke with said the hospital was very clean and hygienic and well equipped. One person said; 'it's very quiet and it's the cleanest hospital I've ever been in'.
We found that care and treatment was planned and delivered in ways that met people's needs. People were supported to have adequate nutrition and hydration, and were protected from the risks of acquiring a healthcare associated infection and from the risks associated with medicines. Equipment was maintained so that it worked properly and was available in sufficient quantities. People's medical records were fit for purpose and held securely.
