Health watchdog the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has ranked almost every mental health NHS trust in England in terms of risk of providing poor care.

The majority are of low concern, but 12% have been rated in the highest risk band by the CQC.

The high-risk trusts had problems with issues such as cleanliness, dignity of care and concerns raised by patients.

The CQC register will help target inspections.

Of the 39 banded mental health trusts, five are in band one, 16 are in band two, two are in band three and 16 are in band four.

Band one is where the risk of poor care is highest and band four is where it is lowest, according to the data.
