SIGNIFICANT concerns have been expressed in relation to the non-compliance with certain rules and regulations at Unit 5B at University Hospital Limerick.
The Mental Health Commission - an independent statutory agency - has published a report following an inspection of the Acute Psychiatric Unit last September.
While inspectors found two areas of 'high risk' they noted an improvement in the unit's overall compliance when compared to previous reports.
The most significant breach of regulation related to the failure to ensure that each resident has an individual care plan. The report states that five individual care plans were examined during the inspection last September and that multiple issues were identified.
