The comment was made by the mother of a patient who spent two years at the hospital in County Antrim.She repeatedly asked staff about the cause of the injuries and they told her that they were self inflicted or accidental, said the mother.Her son, Danny, has cerebral palsy, brain damage and epilepsy and the mental function of an 18-month-old child.
She said she asked staff about marks including those on the back of his arms, or above his ribs on his back."On another occasion we were told they had to restrain him. It was very worrying."Helen said she did not believe there were any investigations into the bruising.
