This report is designed to provide stakeholders with an insight into emerging trends in compliance identified during the MCA’s health check visits during the two-year period 2019-2020. It also provides examples of best practice that have been observed whilst conducting the latest health check visits. During the two-year period, the MCA conducted sixteen PMSC health checks throughout the UK at the following types of facility:

• 8 x Municipal
• 4 x Private
• 4 x Trust

As a result of these visits, four of the organisations were found to be non-compliant with the requirements of the PMSC to the degree that they will require return visits during 2021 to verify that the issues identified have been addressed.
