Sexual health team '¨rated '˜good' by CQC
The CaSH service, which began operating under a new specification only last April, underwent a full comprehensive inspection in September 2016.
This involved an 80-strong inspection team spending a week at the Trust inspecting services, including CaSH at locations across the county.

Anji Stokes, Community Education Lead for the Contraception and Sexual Health team at Lancashire Care, said: “We are delighted with the results of the inspection, especially given that we are a newly formed team operating under a new service specification across Lancashire and in Blackburn with Darwen.
“The result is testament to the commitment of staff and the organisation to provide the best possible care to our service users.
“We are confident that as our service continues to develop and through working closely with our partners and patients we will continue to improve on the already ‘Good’ result and will be working towards achieving a rating of ‘Outstanding’ in the future.”
