Cygnet Health Care is a commercial provider of mental health services which operates over 150 centres with more than 1,000 beds across the UK. The company headquarters is in Sevenoaks, Kent. It is a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, acquired for £205 million in 2014.[1] It has 15 rehabilitation sites nationwide, comprising 25 wards and 338 beds.[2]

Some of the company's clients pay privately, but most are funded by the NHS buying extra capacity. In 2013/4 Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust spent £1.2 million with the company.[3]

In 2011 the company was warned by the Care Quality Commission about staffing levels at Cygnet Wing Blackheath.[4] Improvements were still required at the CQC inspection in April 2014.[5]

In 2013 the Care Quality Commission issued a warning in respect of Cygnet Hospital Bierley because the service was failing to ensure that appropriate records were kept.[6]

In December 2016 it bought the adult services business of Cambian Group PLC in a deal worth £377 million.[7] The deal was referred for investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority in May 2017,[8] which ordered the merged company to sell one of its hospitals in the East Midlands, to counter the loss of competition.

[9]

In 2017 the Care Quality Commission raised concerns about the safety and quality of the firm's hospitals in Sheffield and Woking.[10] It ordered admissions to be suspended at Knole Ward at the Cygnet Hospital at Godden Green, near Sevenoaks because of concerns about the use of seclusion and segregation.[11] The company announced in November 2017 that it would no longer provide children and adolescents’ mental health services in its regional psychiatric intensive care unit at Cygnet Hospital Woking.[12] In December 2017, Cygnet Health Care was accused of failing vulnerable young patients[13] Three warning notices and fixed penalty notices for failing to make “required notifications” of patient safety incidents were issued by the Care Quality Commission after an “urgent” inspection in November 2017. The Cygnet Hospital Godden Green was restricted to eight admissions. It was said that staff were “often reliant on police intervention” to manage incidents in the hospital, and were not always competent and skilled.[14] It was rated good after an inspection in February 2018.[15]
