The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust is working closely with Staffordshire Police on its on-going investigation, ‘Operation Anzu’. The Police are looking into concerns about the appropriateness of care provided by an individual who worked in the NHS and previously worked at both Russells Hall Hospital and Royal Stoke Hospital.  This individual no-longer works at the either hospital.

We have written to a number of families about the care they or their family member received and we have advised them to speak to the Police.

Any patient or guardian who may have concerns can contact  the Trust on  our dedicated hospital helpline 01384 322311 or via our PALs service 0800 0730510. Lines are open Monday- Friday 9am – 5pm.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) can also be contacted on 0800 328 0904 or email help@nspcc.org.uk. This is a service for both children and adults.

Statement from Paul Hudson, deputy medical director, The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust
