The service, which comprises seven wards and provides care and treatment for male and female with a mental health disorder in a secure setting, was inspected in April 2024 following concern about people's care and treatment on the forensic wards. The CQC found these concerns to be unsubstantiated.

Paul Scott, chief executive of EPUT, said: ‘We are delighted that the hard work of the team at Brockfield House has been recognised by CQC and that the service has been rated as good across all areas – this is a testament to the relentless drive to improve care for all our patients.'

The CQC found many positive areas, including a proactive and positive culture of safety, qualified skilled and experienced staff on wards, concerns about safety were listened to by senior leaders and safety events were investigated and reported thoroughly.
