Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf has announced that he will propose an amendment to next year’s spending plans to spend a total of £2.8m on the works at Beech and Cedar wards at Clinique Pinel.

The move comes after a woman came forward in May to say that her 85-year-old father had been robbed of his dignity on Beech Ward – Anita Shepherd called for an urgent investigation into the care of mentally ill patients.

She took the difficult decision to speak out after growing increasingly concerned about standards of care.
