Father of man who died after neglect at Priory calls for investigation into second hospital

The group’s facility near Manchester, where four women died, ‘should be prosecuted’, says Richard Caseby

The father of a 23-year-old man who died after neglect at a Priory hospital is calling for a criminal investigation into a second Priory facility where four young women died.

Richard Caseby said the Priory should be investigated and prosecuted after three patients died within two months of each other in 2022 at the Priory’s Cheadle Royal hospital, near Manchester, while a fourth patient died last year.
