At this inspection we rated: -

- The strategy and supporting objectives and plans were challenging and innovative, while remaining achievable. Strategies and plans were fully aligned with plans in the wider health economy, and there was a demonstrated commitment to system-wide collaboration and leadership.

- The leadership, governance and culture are used to drive and improve the delivery of high-quality person-centred care.

- The services had clear systems to keep people safe and safeguarded from abuse.
- Staff had the information they needed to deliver safe care and treatment to patients.
- The service learned and made improvements when things went wrong.
- The service had a comprehensive programme of quality improvement activity and routinely received the effectiveness and appropriateness of the care provided.
