CARE records went missing, medicines were not handled properly and patients were put at risk - those are just some of the findings in a scathing report after inspectors swooped unannounced on a Hampshire mental health hospital.

Drugs were ?not always handled appropriately? while staff ?did not always ensure that medicines were safely administered? at Antelope House, an accute psychiatric unit in Southampton.

Patients were also ?at risk of not receiving appropriate treatment to meet their needs? as vital care plans and risk assessments failed to ensure their safety and welfare.
