Opened in December 2006, Winterbourne View was a private hospital owned and operated by Castlebeck Care Limited. It was designed to accommodate 24 patients in two separate wards, and was registered as a hospital providing assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for people with learning disabilities. It closed in June 2011 after the Panorama investigation. Though individual members of staff at Winterbourne View have been convicted, this case has revealed weaknesses in the system’s ability to hold the leaders of care organisations to account. This report sets out steps to respond to those failings, including tightening up the accountability of management and corporate boards for what goes on in their organisations.

Opened in December 2006, Winterbourne View was a private hospital owned and operated by Castlebeck Care Limited. It was designed to accommodate 24 patients in two separate wards, and was registered as a hospital providing assessment, treatment and rehabilitation for people with learning disabilities. It closed in June 2011 after the Panorama investigation. The government review found that Patients stayed at Winterbourne View for too long and were too far from home – the average length of stay was 19 months. Almost half of patients were more than 40 miles away from where their family or primary carers lived. There was an extremely high rate of ‘physical intervention’ – well over 500 reported cases of restraint in a fifteen month period. Multiple agencies failed to pick up on key warning signs – nearly 150 separate incidents – including A&E visits by patients, police attendance at the hospital, and safeguarding concerns reported to the local council – which could and should have raised the alarm. There was clear management failure at the hospital – with no Registered Manager in place, substandard recruitment processes and limited staff training. The government will set out proposals to strengthen accountability of boards of directors and senior managers for the safety and quality of care which their organisations provide.
