Camden and Islington mental health and social care trust, one of the first care trusts to go live in April last year, is to carry out an internal investigation concerning the man charged with three murders following the discovery of human remains in bin bags .
Anthony Hardy had been receiving ongoing care from the trust since 1995. He was last seen by services on 30 December, and his next appointment had been due to take place in early January.
The trust plans to carry out "a thorough internal investigation" led by an independent non-executive director, which it described as standard procedure when a patient is involved in a serious incident.
The trust said it was co-operating with police in their current enquiries, and would be closely following any criminal proceedings.
