Eating disorder unit

Story from nhs.uk

"Eating disorder unit"

The overall facility is ugly, the toilets are dirty with sick on the walls that don't get cleaned. The staff don't communicate with one another, information always being lost, and the main thing that the staff do is monitor, they don't have time to listen to patients or hand over information, except irrelevant details. When patients are in distress they don't seem to speak to them or have anything to offer them, therapy is very limited, if you are lucky enough to get it at all. Plans are sketchy and lacking in substance.
