The inspector was concerned to see that a large number of lights in all rooms were not functioning effectively which means that service users are not being provided with lighting that is effective which is not beneficial to their health and wellbeing. The inspector would like a professionally qualified person to investigate the problem and a copy of their report along with the action taken to resolve the problem needs to be sent to the Commission For Social Care inspections local area office.
