Nine informal complaints were made about the sexual behaviour of paedophile Jimmy Savile at Stoke Mandeville Hospital but none "were either taken seriously or escalated to senior management", a report into his abuse of 60 victims there has found. A formal complaint was also made but later dropped.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has apologised on behalf of the government to victims of Jimmy Savile for the "clear failings" in the NHS that allowed abuse to go "unchecked".
"On behalf of the government, I apologised to them last June and today I repeat that apology.
"What happened was horrific, caused immeasurable and often permanent damage and betrayed vulnerable people who trusted us to keep them safe. We let them down."
The trauma of staff and patients at Stoke Mandeville Hospital who were subjected to attacks by Jimmy Savile has been laid bare in a report.
Two reports released today give insight into the abuses carried out by Jimmy Savile, and how "many elements" could be repeated in future.
Stoke Mandeville Hospital staff knew of Jimmy Savile's abuse of young patients, a lawyer has said ahead of a report to be published later.
