Kettering hospital ward accused of failing children inadequate

Kettering hospital ward accused of failing children inadequate The safety of a ward accused of failing children has been rated as inadequate by inspectors.

The care regulator warned Kettering General Hospital (KGH) in Northamptonshire over its children's and young people's services.

Inspectors' worries include sepsis treatment, staff numbers, dirt levels and not having an "open culture" where concerns can be raised without fear.

The trust's chief executive apologised to those who felt let down. BBC Northampton
