O\u2019Reilly Stewart Solicitors have been representing some family members of those patients since before the Inquiry formally commenced in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>From June 2022 to March 2025, the Inquiry heard from 235 witnesses. Approximately 40,000 documents were provided and considered by the Inquiry during that process.<\/p>\n<p>We heard today from the Chair of the Inquiry, Mr Tom Kark KC, who formally announced the publication of the report. Mr Kark noted this is the second Public Inquiry into BHSCT within the past six years.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kark outlined the objectives of this Inquiry: to examine instances of abuse at Muckamore, the circumstances in which the abuse happened and to ensure that this does not happen again.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the evidence given to the Inquiry overall, Mr Kark stated today that injuries sustained by patients were <em>\u201cneither isolated nor incidental\u201d<\/em> and the Belfast Health and Social Care <em>Trust \u201cdid massive disservice to those it was supposed to look after\u201d.<\/em> Families of patients were <em>\u201cmarginalised and excluded\u201d<\/em> and there was a <em>\u201clack of support\u201d<\/em> when they wanted to lodge complaints in respect of concerns they had about the care and treatment being provided to their relatives in Muckamore.<\/p>\n<p>The report is extremely detailed however a summary of the main areas of criticism is below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Inquiry\u2019s report focused on <em>\u201csystemic issues which gave rise to the circumstances that \u201callowed abuse and poor care to occur\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The patient experience revealed to the Inquiry, most often through the eyes and experiences of the relatives, spoke \u201c<em>consistently of concerns about the appearance of unexplained injuries\u201d<\/em> such as <em>\u201cbroken bones, black eyes and other bruises that they never suffered at home\u201d<\/em> as well as a <em>\u201clack of basic care needs\u201d<\/em>. Those unexplained marks were <em>\u201csigns consistent with physical abuse\u201d<\/em> and were <em>\u201cvisible indicators of systemic failure\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The Inquiry found that in retrospect, there was <em>\u201cmore than sufficient information available to alert the Trust, commissioners and regulators to the potential for abuse\u201d.<\/em> Further, <em>\u201cwarning signs were present, visible and repeatedly raised, decisive, system-wide action did not follow<\/em>\u201d. Managers \u201c<em>failed to recognise the escalating risks\u201d<\/em> and the Clinical Governance team <em>\u201cfailed to highlight these trends\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Without CCTV <em>\u201cthe abuse of patients is unlikely to have been exposed\u201d.<\/em> Many instances of abuse were captured on CCTV, which showed <em>\u201cforceful handling, dragging, pushing and inappropriate restraint\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>In 2019, PSNI <em>\u201clost confidence in assurance that all footage had been reviewed\u201d<\/em> and subsequently <em>\u201cdecided to seize CCTV hard drives to ensure evidential integrity\u201d<\/em>. Families being informed that CCTV had captured abuse involving their relatives caused \u201c<em>shock, guilt, anger and lasting emotional harm<\/em>\u201d. Such was the scale of the abuse revealed by CCTV, it led <em>to \u201cunprecedented numbers of staff suspensions\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The use of sedation <em>\u201cbecame normal practice\u201d<\/em> with many patients appearing in <em>\u201can overmedicated state\u201d<\/em>. Supervision was <em>\u201cinconsistent\u201d<\/em> and <em>\u201cfell far below what about be expected in a high risk inpatient setting\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Evidence was found of <em>\u201cphysical restraint, seclusion and PRN [sedation] medication\u201d.<\/em> Families frequently described their relatives as <em>\u201csedated, disengaged or \u2018zombified\u2019<\/em>\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Inquiry Panel found that \u201cBHSCT failed for several years to carry out required audits or provide assurance that statutory safeguards were being met, despite holding substantial sums of money for individual patients<\/em>\u201d. BHSCT <em>\u201cdid not put in place robust, transparent or consistently applied systems to safeguard patients\u2019 money and property\u201d<\/em> at Muckamore.<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with each incident individually resulted in the inability of the organisation to recognise patterns, escalate concerns and protect patients and <em>\u201callowed physical abuse and neglect to continue unchecked, causing lasting harm to patients and profound distress to their families\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Governance and oversight of restrictive practices <em>\u201cwere inadequate<\/em>\u201d. A lack of scrutiny <em>\u201callowed deviations from policy to become imbedded over time\u201d.<\/em> As a result, <em>\u201crepeated departures from expected standards\u201d<\/em> became <em>\u201caccepted as routine\u201d.<\/em> \u00a0The Panel found that <em>\u201cBHSCT\u2019s governance system failed at multiple levels<\/em>\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>The Panel concluded that MAH exhibited <em>\u201cmultiple, persistent and well-documented warning signs long before 2017\u201d \u2013 sustained understaffing, inadequate specialist supports, unsafe environments, escalating violence and restraint, frequent safeguarding referrals, family complaints and a geographically and culturally closed institution\u201d<\/em>. The system <em>\u201cfailed to connect the dots<\/em>\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Fear was a <em>\u201cmajor barrier\u201d<\/em> to complaint raising, with families fearing that raising concerns would <em>\u201cnegatively affect their loved one\u2019s care<\/em>\u201d. Families felt <em>\u201cintimidated or discouraged from speaking out\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>It was of <em>\u201csome concern to the Inquiry\u201d<\/em> on how many occasions an adversarial and oppositional approach was adopted by the Trust to the Inquiry\u2019s methods. With this in mind, the report states that in light of the <em>\u201cadversarial approach\u201d<\/em> taken to the Inquiry by the Trust, they also considered the position of individual families <em>\u201cattempting to challenge the Trust and how difficult a task that must on occasion have been\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The Inquiry also found that <em>\u201cexternal inspection and oversight failed to operate as an effective safety net\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Inquiry\u2019s report outlines 106 recommendations for change.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Reilly Stewart Solicitors welcome the findings of the report as well as the recommendations made therein. We would reiterate the comments of the Chair, Mr Kark KC, that \u201cthe consequences of allowing the circumstances that led to the abuse and neglect seen by this Inquiry to arise again do not bear consideration\u201d and \u201cthere is a high duty to look after the most vulnerable members of our society\u201d, and those with learning disabilities and autism \u201care entitled to the same human rights as other citizens and deserve to be supported to live full lives with dignity, care, kindness and humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Chair, concluding his remarks, spoke directly to the families indicating that \u201c<em>today is not the end of the road for you\u201d<\/em> and to use the report <em>\u201cas a powerful tool\u201d<\/em> to <em>\u201cassist you to continue to fight for those you love\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 700 page report is now available to access online &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mahinquiry.org.uk\/publications\/muckamore-inquiry-report-june-2026-0\">https:\/\/www.mahinquiry.org.uk\/publications\/muckamore-inquiry-report-june-2026-0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speak to our Healthcare Team if you wish to raise a query on <a href=\"mailto:info@oreillystewart.com\">info@oreillystewart.com<\/a> or 028 90 321 000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today,\u00a0 O\u2019Reilly Stewart Solicitors attended the Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry for publication of the Inquiry\u2019s long-awaited report.
