Notable supporters 

Middlesbrough MP, Andy McDonald - "It is imperative that lessons are learned and if the ongoing inquiries do not satisfy the legitimate concerns raised, the calls for a public inquiry will be inevitable." 

Stockton MP, Alex Cunningham - “This yet another damning report from the CQC on the further failings of the Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust to keep both residents and staff safe, and ensure proper risk management was in place.”

Alistair Smith, Watson Woodhouse Solicitors, representative of numerous families -  “Techniques, restraints and practices were brutal, and against the guidance of the Trust, which has led to long term issues such as self-harm, and sadly, ultimately suicide for some.”

Head of hospital inspection for the north (mental health and community health services) CQC, Brian Cranna -  “During our inspection of Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust’s acute wards and psychiatric intensive care unit service, we found concerns that urgently need addressing. We found these five wards were providing a service where risks were not assessed effectively or managed well enough to keep people safe from harm.”

Chairwoman Cllr Joan McTigue -  “I feel a lot of people have been let down by people at the top… I saw no mention of anyone anywhere being sacked, for want of a better word. In my opinion, somebody should carry the can.”
