Glan Clwyd Hospital: Patients had 'truly appalling' care

The care of mental health patients at a north Wales hospital was "truly appalling", deputy health minister Vaughan Gething has said.

Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) said scrutiny at Glan Clwyd Hospital's Tawel Fan ward "failed to detect and respond to the concerns at an early enough point in this case".

Families of patients at the hospital, in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, said they were treated like animals.

Mr Gething said the report on the unit was "shocking".
