The health watchdog has taken action against a high security psychiatric hospital which has housed serial killers, after it was discovered patients were being confined to their rooms for long periods.

Rampton Hospital in Nottinghamshire provides services to people detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, who have learning disabilities, mental illnesses or psychopathic disorders.
