CCTV shows staff at Cygnet Yew Trees private hospital slapping and kicking woman
Staff at a private mental health hospital were caught on camera dragging, slapping and kicking a patient, inspectors have said.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care services in England, carried out an unannounced inspection of Cygnet Yew Trees in Kirby-le-Soken in Essex after its provider, Cygnet Health Care, reported allegations of patient abuse.
