Matthew McClelland, Director of Fitness to Practice, said:

“Following the appalling abuse captured at Whorlton Hall in the Panorama programme, an independent panel has placed interim suspension orders on three nurses. We applied for these orders to keep people who use health and care services, and their families, safe.

“We remain in contact with the care provider and with the Police as part of their criminal inquiry, as we continue with our regulatory investigation.”
