The chief executive of a troubled mental health trust is resigning following claims that patients were being abused at a care facility.
Neil Thwaite has announced he will be stepping down from the top job at Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust (GMMH). The news comes after months of independent and internal investigations into the trust's operations.
Staff who were unequipped to be in senior management, a ‘combative management’ style, and a trust ‘believing its own propaganda’ were listed among reasons for shocking staff behaviour towards patients at the Edenfield Centre, ‘exposed’ by a BBC Panorama programme.
