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 film also purports to show inappropriate use of restraint, according to experts, and faking of paperwork intended to ensure patient safety.
As reported in the Manchester Evening News , police have launched a criminal investigation into the Edenfield Centre, a secure unit in the grounds of Prestwich Hospital in Bury.
A number staff have been suspended. The footage is from an undercover Panorama reporter, who worked at the unit from March to June this year.
