An NHS trust which grieving families say subjected their loved ones to ''chaotic and appalling" mental health care will be the subject of a public inquiry.
Relatives met with the Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who announced the probe into the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust (TEWV), after years of campaigning.
They included the families of Christie Harnett and Nadia Sharif, who were treated at West Lane Hospital in Middlesbrough, where they died by suicide both aged 17, and Emily Moore, 18, who also took her own life after being treated there.
The trust said it would "fully support the process with transparency, openness and humility".
