    I heard as the narrator stated that there was several different staff reporting abuse and still no investigation done to check for abuse. I heard the horror in the whistle blower Terry Bryan’s words as he told us what he experienced. I was disgusted as I watched carers poke a females eyes and hit her bare back after she had been restrained causing her to scream in pain.

In one episode of restraint that was included clearly showed a carer, leaning on the patient’s chest, with her other arm pushing on the neck above the carotid artery, which could cause serious damage or death.…
