In a statement to the BBC, Majid apologised again and said using the money was a “mistake”, and the sum had been given back to the charity.<\/p>\n

Devlin, who took up the role in 2020, served two three-year terms as chairman and handed over the reins to Tom Cahill earlier this month.<\/p>\n

It is understood the trust used \u00a3249.50 from the charity, which is currently fundraising, external<\/a> for therapies for the mother and baby unit and peer support work for people living with dementia. <\/p>\n

The news comes following a recent Care Quality Commission report, which said the trust’s leadership “requires improvement”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inspectors also found a “challenged” financial picture at the trust, with a forecast deficit of \u00a346.8m at the end of the 2025-26 financial year.<\/p>\n

This came after a damning 2024 report<\/a>, which the Nottingham attacks victims’ families said demonstrated “gross, systemic failures in the mental health trust”.<\/p>\n

In January 2024, it was reported more than 30 members of staff across the trust<\/a> had been suspended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a statement to the BBC, Majid apologised again and said using the money was a “mistake”, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-378790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
