Following the inspection, we issued a warning notice to the trust on 21 October 2025 under section 29A of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
CQC Enforcement (Single Assessment Framework)
Regulatory breaches and the formal action the Care Quality Commission took on them, as named in CQC Single Assessment Framework assessment commentary from 2024 onward. CQC publishes no separate machine-readable enforcement register, so each record is the breach statement quoted verbatim from the assessment and classified by the action stated there. A letter of intent is recorded separately from urgent action, so an action CQC is only considering is never shown as one already taken.
