Rupert Nichols, Chair of Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trust, has announced his intention to step down from his role at the end of December
He is stepping down following the recent allegations of abuse at the Edenfield Centre in Prestwich
Back in September a BBC Panorama investigation has revealed how patients were put at risk due to a “toxic culture” at one of the UK’s biggest mental health hospitals
Greater Manchester Police have since opened criminal investigations and enquiries are ongoing to ensure all offences are recorded and those involved identified.
