In 1995, there were a number of allegations raised in the media of extensive sexual abuse and violence between patients. The Minister ordered an inquiry, particularly into the case of a male patient who allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted another female patient. Five staff faced disciplinary action, and others were investigated over misappropriation of funds, but no charges were laid.
