Savile ‘abused 63 people at Stoke Mandeville Hospital’

‘Jimmy Savile abused 63 people connected to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, but one formal complaint was ignored, an independent report has found.

It found Savile’s reputation as a “sex pest” was an “open secret” among some staff – but allegations probably did not reach managers.

The formal complaint – made in 1977 by a victim’s father – should have been reported to police, it added.

A separate report said “elements of the Savile story” could happen again.’
