Managers saw Savile as 'important part of hospital life', report finds

Nine informal complaints were made about 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 about the depraved children’s entertainer was also made but dropped due to the victim’s ill health, the report released today into his 24-year campaign of abuse there said.
