Letterkenny University Hospital’s Department of Psychiatry achieved a 66.67% compliance with regulations in the Mental Health Commission’s Annual Report for 2024.
Last year, overall compliance across HSE-funded adult centres was just under 81%, while independently run adult centres achieved 88.5% compliance.
The report saw an increase in the number of high and critical non-compliances in 2024 compared to previous years.
Examples of LUH’s Psychiatry Department’s non-compliance may include lapses in individualised care planning, risk management, staffing and premises.
