Tolworth Hospital is failing in a key care target, inspectors from regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have found.
Action is needed in relation to consent to care and treatment, they said, after inspecting the Lilacs, Azaleas, and Fuschias wards in November. Staff needed to make sure they acted according to the law in situations where patients lacked the capacity to consent, the report said. The hospital passed in three other areas: staffing, patients’ welfare, and safety.
The regulator judged the failure to meet the target to have had a “moderate impact” on patients. However, most people commented positively to inspectors on the care they received, the report said. Five long-term patients are being cared for on the ward, the future of which is under review by GPs.
