GMP has launched a criminal investigation
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.
Staff, including, support workers, and registered nurses, were secretly filmed. The footage appeared to show patients being bullied, humiliated, swore at, and taunted. The Edenfield has 11 wards for men and women, cares for people who are at serious risk of harming themselves or others, including many from the criminal justice system. Around 600 staff care for 200 patients.
“Since then, senior doctors at the Trust have undertaken clinical reviews of the patients affected, we have suspended a number of staff pending further investigations and we have also commissioned an independent clinical review of the services provided at the Edenfield Centre.
