Disabled man knocked himself unconscious in 'inadequate' hospital seclusion room
A health authority boss has apologised after a High Court judge said he was profoundly disturbed about the way in which a severely disabled man was kept in seclusion at a specialist unit.
Richard McKendrick, chief operating officer of Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said he was very disappointed at the “unacceptable” quality of care the 25-year-old man had received at the Vale Hospital.
