Description

More than 20 former patients or their relatives have told Sky News they were failed by the "awful" care they received at mental health hospitals for teenagers. The teenagers were treated for serious mental health issues by one provider - The Huntercombe Group – which was paid for by the NHS. The Department of Health says the allegations are "deeply concerning". On the Sky News Daily, Rob Powell speaks to our communities correspondent Lisa Holland and producer Rachel Lucas about their eight-month investigation which contains stories of excessive restraint – and people being left at increased risk of self-harm. WARNING: This podcast features discussion about self-harm and suicide. If you need to speak to someone, call the Samaritans helpline for free on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.orgAnnie Joyce – senior podcast producer David Chipakupaku - digital promotion producerPaul Stanworth – editor
