Health chiefs have ordered the removal of vulnerable patients from a private hospital that failed a care inspection, in the first sign of a new determination that there should be no repeat of the Winterbourne View care home scandal.
NHS England is moving patients with mental health needs and learning disabilities out of the Vista Healthcare hospital in Winchfield, Hampshire, after it missed a deadline last week to make urgent improvements.
An inspection by the Care Quality Commission found a “disturbing” number of violent incidents at the hospital and evidence of inappropriate use of restraint.
One senior nurse told the inspectors: “It doesn’t matter which way you take them down, front-ways or back-ways.”
