The chairman of a panel investigating an NHS trust over patient deaths said the anger of bereaved families was palpable and had to be addressed .
The panel is investigating Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust after failures in its care of five patients who died between 2011 and 2015.
Nigel Pascoe QC said the probe would be carried out without fear or favour .
The deputy director of nursing at the trust said it had really shifted and changed in how it addressed problems.
Five Hampshire families said they will not take part in a public investigation following the deaths of their loved ones. BEREAVED families have withdrawn from a public investigation as they claimed to have been “misled, misrepresented and bullied” by the NHS. Five Hampshire families, whose loved ones died while in the care of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust , were expected to take part in a series of hearings. It comes as last year a report which looked into the deaths of some Southern Health patients between 2012 and 2015 found “significant, serious and deeply regrettable failures”. Nigel Pascoe QC, who was responsible for the independent report, recommended a limited public investigation to see if the concerns raised have been addressed.
