Actually… They’re not. At least, the hospital I work at has very minimal cctv inside the building, majority of it is on the ground floor. That’s probably a large part of the issue.
As for “restricted access”. Again, based on personal experience, most restricted spaces are just doors with magnetic locks. You can open them pretty easily if you give them a good pull. I have to do it regularly as I’m always forgetting my pass.
So much worse than the police!!! Presumably we’ll see similar wild accusations thrown at nurses and doctors now too?
i couldn’t work out who is committing these rapes? Is it members of the public walking in off the street and doing it? Is it staff? It’s so appalling, i can’t imagine.
This is disgusting, these people need to face charges.
NHS fails – yet again – to keep people safe and *somehow* it’s the fault of the police. Beggars belief.

10 fewer a year since Jimmy died, but my guess here is that no one would actually be silly enough to bring his name up…
>She said the sheer extent of the problem had echoes of the Jimmy Savile scandal
What? Oh no.
The article leaves a lot out so borders on useless and sensational.
For example, what settings did the crimes take place in? I imagine mental health wards would come out as a majority crime location, without knowing what the trends are.it.is impossible to target solutions.
Also who was committing the crimes? Again does not say. What trends are there in who is committing the crimes? There is usually some sort of trend, but this report is just click bait, not serious journalism
Trusts will not pay to protect staff (or visitors), they aren’t ‘restricted ‘ areas, and are basically open public buildings 24hrs a day.
Yes, you may have to go through A&E at night, but you are just another visitor/relative/patent, IF you don’t come across another access door being exited.
At most sites there is little or no security, and there isn’t the impetus to pay for it either.
It IS NOT the job of clinical staff to challenge strangers, they are assaulted without that added in!
Oh, and how do I know?
Well, many many years working clinical, nights, weekends you name it.
Staff are massively undervalued by the Tory Mafia, and really couldn’t care less as the issue will be relatively rare in private healthcare.
I blame those horny nurses you see on the internet. They cant wait to undress and shag the patients.
