Summary
Following the conviction of Valdo Calocane in January 2024 for the killings of Ian Coates, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care commissioned the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to carry out a rapid review of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) under section 48 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
As part of the review, CQC were asked to look at 3 specific areas:
- A rapid review of the available evidence related to the care of Valdo Calocane
- An assessment of patient safety and quality of care provided by NHFT
- An assessment of progress made at Rampton Hospital since the most recent CQC inspection activity
In this report, CQC detail the findings of parts 2 and 3. They will publish a separate report on part 1 in relation to the care of VC in summer 2024.

The rapid review identified three enduring areas of concern at the trust including:
- demand for services and access to care
- staffing
- leadership.
The gaps and challenges we have identified at NHFT are longstanding issues at the trust which need to be addressed. However, looking more widely, we can see that other community mental health services are facing many of the same challenges as NHFT.
