Leeds woman 'traumatised' after being attacked by patient at hospital
She said that she has since spoken to the Patient Advice and Liason Service and submitted a complaint about the security staff.
Mrs Bell said: “It shouldn’t happen at a hospital where people should feel safe. I was told by a member of staff that it happens constantly and it’s not fair at all.” Peter Aldridge, Associate Director for Estates and Facilities at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said:"We are aware of the incident involving a patient outside the Trust's Chancellor's Wing at St James’s Hospital, and a full investigation was carried out with West Yorkshire Police and through the Trust's PALS process.
"The Trust's Security Team responded immediately, and although incidents of this nature are extremely rare, we take them very seriously and fully understand their impact. We do everything we can to support anyone affected. We have offered victim and safeguarding support, and this is still available, which can be arranged if they contact the Trust."
