"No continuing care"

About: Claire House / Ashton & Golborne CMHT (Adults)

(as the patient),

I think the lack of patient care verges on negligence.

Every time you call you speak to a different person and every time your assured some one will return your call they litrally NEVER do. When you as the patient are FORCED to ring back usually it's too late and the doctors have gone home thus not being able to deal with medication concerns. Prescriptions not given out for adequate time in between appointments. Correspondence letters regarding medication and recent visits ( visits upto three months even ) not sent to GP conceqently running out of medication. No continuing care, no consistency, attitude of certain nurses, personal derogotary remarks made, attitude of administration! Only One sectary responsible for every psychiatrist based at Ince. Words can't explain how bad an experience I've had at Clare House! Advised to abruptly stop antidepressants! Took 10 days to get seen when I was seriously ill! Gp sent me A and E due to Ince making me wait a month for a medication review when I was saying I felt suicidal! Verges on contacting PALS and lodging formal complaint. MY experience with Clare House has contributed massively to deterioration in mental state. Oh and been waiting 18 months had no therapy yet. I think the CQC need sending in.
