| Annotation | Concerns about possible physical and emotional mistreatment of patients on Rowan Ward, Withington Hospital were raised in August 2002. The Greater Manchester Strategic Health Authority asked the Commission for Health Improvement (CHI) to carry out an external investigation. Following the national and local multi-agency "No Secrets" policy on preventing abuse of vulnerable adults, this report presents the findings of the Internal Inquiry, which cover: Background; Evidence considered; Terms of reference; Description of the ward environment and function; Description of the Trust's governance system; Timetable of events concerning allegations; Nature of concerns raised; Response to questions in the terms of reference; Action plan: high level themes; and Root cause analysis. This Internal Inquiry should be read in conjunction with CHI's report, "Investigation into matters arising from care on Rowan ward, Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust, September 2003" (available from The Stationery Office, ISBN 0117032697).
