The deaths of around 2,000 mental health patients in Essex over the last 20 years will be investigated when a long-awaited new public inquiry begins on Monday.
The families of those who died claim there has been a cover-up and more deaths are likely to be uncovered.
In 2021 the Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust was fined £1.5m over failures in care that led to the deaths of 11 patients after pleading guilty to safety breaches that meant it failed to "prevent suicides".
Since then the number of deaths under investigation has continued to grow.
Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK.
