The CQC found that that bed occupancy at the Trust averaged 96.4% between October and December last year, compared to the average of 85.9% across England. CQC inspectors were told that the pressures on beds meant that most new admissions to inpatient beds were people detained under the Act.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CQC’s annual report on the Act for 2013-14 is expected to be published early in 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> question first answered 24/10/2014 11:27:05
