Police have arrested 15 people in a wide-ranging investigation since the alleged abuses surfaced in 2017. Authorities in Northern Ireland are to prosecute seven people over the alleged abuse of patients at a psychiatric hospital. The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said on Friday the seven people will be charged with offences including alleged ill-treatment and wilful neglect of patients contrary to the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986. Martin Hardy, the assistant director of the PPS, said another eight people were named in a second investigation file which remains under consideration. It complained about the pace of the police investigation and lobbied for a public inquiry.
Authorities in Northern Ireland have maintained that there have been ongoing criminal activity.
