Concerns were raised with the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI), by the North and Mid Bedfordshire Community Health Council about incidents in community homes and units managed by the Bedfordshire and Luton Community NHS Trust (the trust). The events related to: the unrelated deaths of two people with learning disabilities in July 1997 and May 1999; the closure of a community home; and the alleged abuse of clients between 1998 and 2001. CHI could find no evidence to substantiate earlier allegations of abuse of people living in the community homes. However, the policy for protection of vulnerable adults is not being used consistently and there is no system to monitor the outcome of investigations under the policy.
