All paid for by me and you

A story in the London Informer revealed how a care worker in the mental health system was committing sexual offences against a person supposedly being cared for at the Hammersmith and Fulham Mental Health Unit, based in the Charing Cross Hospital in London.

Matthew Jones, 29, admitted to a two-year campaign of sexual assault on a female patient. It's as if those working in the mental health system think they can get away with various shenanigans by saying the victim isn't well, delusional, making up stories, and needs more drugs to shut them up, or should that be "...needs more drugs to help them through their very difficult illness?"

The organisation responsible for the Unit is the West London Mental Health Trust, the same Trust that looks after and governs Broadmoor Hospital. I guess you could say it hasn't been a good time for the Trust recently. There's been the news about Peter Bryan the cannibal and the failings of the Trust, then there was a purported story about a nurse getting up to no good with a patient, and now this.
All paid for by me and you.
