An independent review of a troubled mental health service is being launched after 'inexcusable behaviour and examples of unacceptable care' were 'exposed' at a mental health unit. The review will start this month and is expected to conclude by the end of September.
Greater Manchester Mental Health trust is being investigated by an independent review as instructed by NHS England. The review will look into the 'failings within the trust's services, reported at the Edenfield Centre, and the failure within the organisation to escalate concerns and mitigate against patient harm'.
The Edenfield Centre is in the grounds of the former Prestwich Hospital and was the subject of a BBC Panorama programme that claims patients were abused. In the weeks following the episode, 30 staff were facing disciplinary action and a dozen were sacked soon after, the Manchester Evening News understands.
