THE boss of Greater Manchester's mental health trust has revealed he is stepping down. The move comes after 'inexcusable behaviour and examples of unacceptable care' were 'exposed' at a mental health unit, he said.
Rupert Nichols, chair of Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, wrote a letter to the governors, board members and colleagues at the trust, shared yesterday.
Although Mr Nichols's term of office ends next July, he announced he would be 'retiring' early from the position at the end of December 2022.
The Edenfield Centre is in the grounds of the former Prestwich Hospital and was the subject of a BBC Panorama programme that claims patients were abused. Since the episode aired, 30 staff are facing disciplinary action and a dozen have already been sacked, the Manchester Evening News understands.
