Quote:
A hospital trust that ran a unit where a man drowned in the bath will be investigated for safety breaches.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust has been asked to provide information on a number of unexplained deaths.
The death of Connor Sparrowhawk, 18, will be one of the cases reviewed by the Health and Safety Executive.
Trust chairman Mike Petter resigned on Friday after a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report found the trust was "continuing to put patients at risk"...
... Mr Sparrowhawk died after having a seizure in the bath at Slade House in Oxford. An inquest jury found neglect contributed to his death.
The CQC found the trust still had not implemented safe bathing guidelines...
... Southern Health was inspected by the CQC after a report by NHS England found it did not investigate the unexpected deaths of more than 1,000 patients over a four-year period.
Its chief executive Katrina Percy has refused calls to resign from Mr Sparrowhawk's mother, Dr Sara Ryan.

It beggars belief that this can still happen.
