A former mental health institution has been included in investigations into allegations of abuse by Jimmy Savile.

The findings of inquiries at 28 hospitals were published in June, but a further wave of allegations has since emerged at some of those hospitals along with an additional eight hospitals and one ambulance service.

The former Shenley Hospital, in Black Lion Hill, Shenley, is one of those included in the fresh allegations of abuse.

Although the hospital closed in 1998, the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust is conducting the investigation.

A spokesman from the Trust said: “CNWL is investigating a case from the early 1980s at Shenley Hospital, as the inheritor Trust for this site (which was closed in 1998).

"The allegation is about a teenager (not a patient) who took part in a sports event held there when Savile was present. We have spoken to this person.

"Our Report will be published in line with all the others.”

Results are expected in January next year.
