It was the privilege of a lifetime to tell the story of patients like Harley and Olivia.

I will never forget them.

I hope the evidence I gathered undercover can lead to real changes in patient care.

Charities and community groups across Northern Ireland, many of which support acutely vulnerable people, say they could be forced to close/ cut services after EU funding stopped today

They say £53m from the UK govt will still mean big losses

The trust which runs the #Edenfield Centre - where I secretly filmed the bullying and abuse of patients - is now facing the highest possible level of NHS intervention as a result.

The chairman of the NHS trust which runs the Edenfield Centre, where I spent months covertly filming patient mistreatment for ⁦@BBCPanorama⁩, has quit. https://t.co/0ieaUuuQaI

More #Edenfield news.

The Joint Committee on Human Rights says #BBCPanorama allegations of patient mistreatment and abuse at the hospital “could potentially constitute a breach of care users’ human rights”.

It’s a strongly-worded letter.

✍️We've written to the @CQC and @DHSCgovuk regarding the horrific allegations of abuse at the Edenfield Centre, uncovered by @BBCPanorama last month.

An “unequivocal” apology to Edenfield patients and their families from the government today.

Responding to an urgent question in the HoC, a minister said the mistreatment of patients I filmed while undercover for #BBCPanorama warrants a public inquiry. https://t.co/EpkXrnCrTN

During my time undercover at the Edenfield Centre, the care watchdog carried out an inspection.

The CQC said staff "demonstrated the values of the trust" - which include being caring and compassionate, inspiring hope and showing respect.
