Twenty staff members are believed to have been suspended at a NHS mental health unit after allegations of abuse. Police have begun a criminal investigation which centres on a facility in the grounds of the former Prestwich Hospital in Bury.
Sources have told the M.E.N. that twenty staff members from the Edenfield Centre, a secure unit, for adults, have been suspended.
The action follows a dossier of evidence being collated after an undercover reporter from Panorama was embedded in the unit from March to June.
