Patients at Greater Manchester NHS mental health unit 'filmed being subjected to abuse', BBC's Panorama claims
Patients at an NHS mental health unit were filmed being subjected to abuse, it is claimed. Panorama footage shows them being bullied, humiliated, swore at, and taunted, according to the BBC.
The Edenfield Centre, which has 11 wards for men and women, cares for people who are at serious risk of harming themselves or others, including some patients from the criminal justice system. Around 600 staff care for 200 patients. One nurse was filmed, say the BBC, refusing to check on a crying patient, who has self-harmed and tried to kill herself. Some staff then laugh and joke about her, it is claimed.
Edenfield's seclusion rooms have a bed, shower and toilet, all of which can be observed by staff from an adjoining room. Some have mould, peeling paint, a smell of sewage and windows that don't open, the BBC claims. Hospital employees complained of understaffing and burnout, it is claimed. Sometimes, support workers were left on their own, with no nurse on the ward. There was a shortage of nurses for adult secure wards on 58 occasions, during one five-week period this summer, according to records from the trust which runs Edenfield and seen by Panorama.
