Here are examples of adult safeguarding files at Muckamore before CCTV allegations came to light provided within Serious Adverse Incident

Department of Health tell @niahealth that there will be a new set of standards for Serious Adverse Incidents.
Another set of procedures from the Department of Health that will be repeatedly ignored across the NI Health Services.

Serious Adverse Incidents to be discussed at Health Committee today. A very relevant topic for the Muckamore Inquiry.
The Muckamore Serious Adverse Incident review completed by Margaret Flynn is available to read on the Inquiry website.
Health Committee is meeting this afternoon, public from 2.20pm. Follow on @niassembly website
The Muckamore Serious Adverse Incident report was completed in 2018 and it looked at Adult Safeguarding cases at the hospital from 2012-2017. Some extracts from the report ;
@NualaMcAllister @niahealth will examine today if learning from the SAI occurred after 2018.
The Chair of the 2018 Muckamore Review was Margaret Flynn, who was also the Chair of the Winterbourne View 2012 report.
The Winterbourne View whistleblower got a job with the CQC. A very positive action.

Prior to CCTV allegations coming to light in 2017, it would seem that Muckamore was the most inspected hospital in N.Ireland:
Priory to 2017 there was large number of serious concerns meetings with RQIA and Belfast Trust , anonymous concerns reported to RQIA &reports of crisis.
The Muckamore Abbey hospital public Inquiry is taking place today but it is not being shown in public.

Being honest when things go wrong - what should a Duty of Candour look like and why the delay in implementing it.? More on this throughout the day. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv22…

All vulnerable Adult investigations at Muckamore had to be reported to the NI Mental Health Commission.

In 2005 the North and West Belfast Trust carried out a review of policy and procedures to safeguard children and adults at Muckamore.
The report said "Muckamore is recognised as a centre of good practice in the field of learning disabilities".
It is unclear by whom.
Visits to Lisburn Road Private Healthcare establishments to help ease agonising pain of waiting for years for treatment. The agonising pain of decades of being a full time carer.
A complete mistrust/avoidance of any respite or day care services provided by the NI Health Service.

2024 statement to Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry.
"I do not need anonymity either at this stage, because the fear of losing my job or of reprisals is no longer something that has a hold over me."
The Early Alert System provides a channel which enables Chief Executives and their senior staff (Director level or higher) in HSC organisations to notify the Department in a prompt and timely way of events or incidents which may require urgent by the Minister or other staff.
In December 2019 @mlchealth interviewed Francis Rice the former Director of nursing at @SouthernHSCT in relation to a @RQIANews inspection at Muckamore Abbey Hospital.

The BBC report says that the RQIA had confirmed to the BBC in December 2019 that "significant improvements" had been made at Muckamore Abbey Hosiptal
This cannot be true when you examine the evidence in the Muckamore Abbey reports through 2019.
If it were the case that "significant improvements" had been made at Muckamore Abbey Hospital 2019 then they did not last long because @RQIANews raised serious concerns again in 2022.
Morale between staff at Muckamore 2022 was said to be poor with conflict between staff groups.
