Has your organisation complied with the NHS Improvement letter of 24 June 2017, and follow up communications, requiring you to have an inspection of all inpatient areas carried out by your local fire and rescue service?  No, however we have attended a workshop hosted by West Midlands Fire Service following the Grenfell Tower fire incident, at which it was agreed that internal fire safety advisors would undertake the inspections as the local Fire Service did not have the resources to comply with this action.

Have you carried out your own checks or worked with independent investigators to assess safety since the Grenfell Tower fire on 14 June? Yes

Please attach all and any reports etc prepared as a result of inspections whether by the fire service or others. If precise locations are sensitive, please consider whether any concerns can be addressed by redacting the location details

 What are you doing to mitigate any risks which have been identified? When will any work identified in the reports be completed? We have identified the hazards, assessed and evaluated the potential risks and implemented appropriate and proportionate control measures within a timely manner.
