The Brookfield Centre at the Littlebrook Hospital site is a rehabilitation and recovery in-patient service for up to ten adult males. It provides a specialist service for patients who have an identified learning disability, mental health needs and where there is either a history or risk of offending behaviour. This may require that some patients are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 in secure conditions. The Brookfield Centre is for patients who are at a stage in their care pathway where controlled access is the most appropriate setting for their detention. This compliance report found that the Brookfield Centre was meeting the essential standards of quality and safety reviewed; but to maintain this, there were some suggestions for improvements, in the areas of “treatment of disease, disorder or injury”, and “assessment or medical treatment for persons detained under the Mental Health Act”.
