Jimmy Savile victims 'frustrated' over report delay
Victims of Jimmy Savile are "frustrated" by delays into a report on the extent of the abuse carried out by the late entertainer at Stoke Mandeville Hospital.
NHS reports into alleged abuse by Savile at Leeds General Infirmary and Broadmoor Hospital are expected this week, but the results of an investigation into his actions at Stoke Mandeville Hospital have been delayed until later this year.
Liz Dux, a lawyer for Slater & Gordon representing 176 victims of the late BBC presenter, described the news as "frustrating".
