AnnotationThis review focuses predominantly on inpatient services provided at Ladysbridge Hospital in Banff and Woodlands Hospital in Aberdeen. The report covers both how specialist health needs and the SHAS quality indicators are met. The report notes that there is little specific focus on the needs of older people with learning disabilities, particularly those with dementia and their carers. Recommendations made include improvements in training, and the introduction of policies on investigating and reporting abuse. (RH).
