Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 154
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
I would also like to know the date when the environmental risk assessments of each of the wards, including a breakdown of the communal areas and private areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms, were completed. Additionally, I would like to know how often these risk assessments are supposed to be reviewed and which professional is responsible for this.
I would also like to know if environmental risk assessments are completed for clinical areas at Charlton Lane Hospital outside the wards, such as the therapy rooms and outpatient areas upstairs.
A yearly ligature assessment takes place on each ward and includes all patient-facing areas. Completed in July 2021.
A PLACE inspection also takes place on a yearly basis.
The lead professional for the monitoring of these is the Hospital Modern Matron role but supported by Estates colleagues.
Should you have any queries in relation to our response in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you are unhappy with the response you have received in relation to your request and wish to ask us to review our response, you should write to: –
