The Somerset Partnership NHS Foundation Trust recognises the importance of delivering high quality services for all patients.
The Department of Health issues guidance regarding standards and principles of good practice for inpatient care. The Trust is compliant with this guidance and the standards and principles of good practice in respect of same sex accommodation. No patients share sleeping accommodation or bathroom and toilet facilities with members of the opposite sex. However, the Trust also recognises that there is always room for improvement and is committed to an ongoing programme of work to continue to improve all accommodation and facilities.
