Nursing staff responsible for a patient at a mental health ward failed to carry out the 15 minute checks he required - with log books on observations appearing to differ from CCTV evidence - an inquest jury has heard.

Lee Doherty was being treated at Prospect Place, Birch Hill Hospital, Rochdale, after being detained under the Mental Health Act.

The 46-year-old, from Manchester, died on July 15, 2022 after he was discovered bleeding badly in his room. Staff mopped up blood from the floor as CPR attempts were made.

Paramedics arrived and Mr Doherty was declared dead. An inquest at Rochdale Coroners' Court got underway on Thursday (November 28). READ MORE: Body of baby found on field in Salford confirmed as newborn girl The court heard nursing staff failed to carry out checks every 15 minutes.
