Response to CQC report following inspection at Mill View Hospital in May 2024
9 April 2025
Teresa Barker, Sussex Partnership's Chief Nursing Officer, said:
"We have made significant improvements since this inspection took place 11 months ago. The CQC's review was undertaken after we informed them that we had identified patient safety issues that we needed to address.
"Some of the changes we have made include strengthening our medicine management process, education and training, and care planning. Our staff have worked incredibly hard on this and continue to embed our improvements.
"This work continues and it is important for us to continuously improve. We value the CQC's expertise and scrutiny in helping us maintain standards on behalf of the patients, carers and local communities we serve."
The Care Quality Commission has published a report following an inspection of Sussex Partnership's services at Mill View Hospital in Hove in May 2024.
The regulator inspected two wards (Caburn Ward and Regency Ward) after we shared areas identified for further improvements.
Following the inspection, the wards were rated "good" for being well-led and rated as "requires improvement" for safety.
The full report will be published on the CQC website.
