Overview
- The national oversight body CGLPL, which published its report Tuesday in the official journal, detailed seven patient deaths between January 1, 2024 and August 1, 2025, including five under involuntary care and none by suicide.
- The CGLPL said the hospital’s figures on involuntary treatment are unreliable and ordered a dependable way to collect psychiatric activity data, with the ministry now on the clock to reply within four weeks.
- The report cites weak follow-up for physical health needs and poor record-keeping, noting a sleep apnea case relayed only by word of mouth and a missed alert despite low blood pressure and an abnormal pulse.
- Inspectors found minors placed full-time in adult units against the rules, and said some minors in voluntary care were isolated or restrained based on illegal decisions that were not always written down.
- The unit has 14 isolation or lockable rooms for 88 beds, which the watchdog calls unusually high and abused, while the hospital says it has cut isolation and restraint, added a mandatory medical check at entry, created a single register, and points to a shortage of child psychiatrists and dedicated youth beds in the area.
