Norfolk and Suffolk mental health services branded 'inadequate'

Special Measures

The mental health trust for Norfolk and Suffolk is being recommended to be placed in special measures after being rated inadequate.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust was “not a safe, effective or responsive service”, said the Care Quality Commission.

The report said there were also concerns about a lack of beds and “urgent action” was needed.

The trust said it would improve services and put patients first.
