Patients at a mental health hospital in Nottinghamshire are being cared for in an “unacceptable environment” with inspectors discovering human waste and blood on its floors and walls, the care regulator has said.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has rated Priory Hospital, in Arnold, inadequate and placed it in special measures following an inspection in March.
It comes after information from anonymous sources reported uncleanliness and gaps in patient safety measures at the independent hospital, which cares for adults with chronic mental health needs.
Inspectors discovered human waste, blood and dried food on floors and walls, dirty toilets and a bag of urine, which had been left for several days.
