Archives show about 400 long-term sick and mentally ill people were repatriated, according to BBC investigation
Hundreds of long-term sick and mentally ill people from the Windrush generation were repatriated to the Caribbean from UK hospitals, sometimes without giving informed consent, according to a BBC investigation.
Analysis of formerly classified National Archives documents found that about 400 people were sent back to their countries of birth between the 1950s and the 1970s under a scheme that was supposed to be voluntary but that may not have involved a proper consent process.
