Jimmy Savile sex abuse claims made by former hospital patients Stoke Mandeville hospital and Leeds General Infirmary, where Jimmy Savile worked for charity, are the centre of the latest allegations of child abuse with claims the former TV star molested patients at both hospitals. An ex-patient at a third hospital, Broadmoor, claimed Savile groped her while she watched TV. A former nurse at the Leeds hospital where Savile worked as a porter, said he molested a brain-damaged hospital patient. June Thornton was recovering from an operation at Leeds General Infirmary when she says she saw Savile abuse the young girl. "She had brain damage, and Jimmy Savile came in and kissed her," she told Sky News. He started kissing her neck, running his hands up and down her arms, and then started to molest her. Because I was laid flat on my back, there was nothing I could do. Leeds General Infirmary said it had received two complaints after allegations that Savile sexually assaulted teenage girls became public 10 days ago. It added it was "shocked" by the claims and would co-operate with police. The Metropolitan police said its investigation into allegations against Savile would include hospitals where he had volunteered. Savile, who once worked as a porter at Leeds, had a long-association with the LGI which included him volunteering during the 1960s and 1970s and undertaking charity work until his death in October last year. Stoke Mandeville, which is still basking in the glory of its association with the Paralympics, was dealt a blow today after claims that Jimmy Savile went on ward rounds to find children to abuse. The hospital, which pioneered rehabilitation for patients with severe spinal injuries and laid the foundation for the games, is facing a growing number of allegations that the former TV presenter groped young patients where he worked as a volunteer fundraiser. Nurses at the hospital are reported to have dreaded his visits because of his behaviour, and would tell children to stay in bed and pretend to be asleep when he came round. Rebecca Owen, a former patient at Stoke Mandeville, told BBC News she overheard nurses talking in a way that suggested he also targeted them. It was an air of resignation that you had to put up with. There was some sort of ironic chatter between the nurses about who would be the lucky one to go off to his room. "And then, as one of the nurses was leaving or passing by my bed, she leant over and said, 'the best you can do is stay in bed until he's gone and pretend to be asleep'," Owen said. A second former patient Laura from Evesham in Worcestershire told BBC Radio 5 how Savile would do "ward rounds" and take children to a private room he had. I just remember people saying 'I wonder which one of us would be the 'chosen one' to go to his 'little room'. I remember the nurses tucking me in saying. 'The best thing you can do is stay in bed, don't ask to be put in your wheelchair today and pretend to be asleep.' Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, said it was shocked to hear the allegations and said it never received any complaints about Savile. A statement from the trust said: "We are unaware of any record or reports of inappropriate behaviour of this nature during Jimmy's work with the trust. We can confirm that the police have contacted us this week as part of their assessment exercise and we are co-operating with them fully. Alison Pink told the Sun that BBC star thrust his hand up her night gown while she was watching TV with other girls at Broadmoor. I tried to squirm, but he held my wrist with his hands. I felt absolutely disgusting afterwards - like I had been used as a piece of meat for his sexual gratification. The latest allegations come as the investigations into claims of abuse stretching over four decades widened with nine police forces now joining the Operation Yewtree investigation being headed by the Met in London and the NSPCC. Greater Manchester and Tayside police became the latest forces to receive complaints of abuse by Savile. As part of an investigation being headed by the Metropolitan police service into allegations of sexual abuse made against the late James Savile, Greater Manchester police has, to date, recorded two separate complaints. These are historic complaints dating back to the 1960s," GMP said in a statement, while the Tayside police said "a disclosure has been made to Tayside police regarding an historical incident that happened in the Liverpool area. Full details will be provided to the Metropolitan police, and support is being offered to the woman concerned. As the scandal of Savile's alleged abuse of children in his BBC dressing room, at hospitals and schools continues to grow, calls have been made for the BBC to review its guidelines on child protection. Lord Patten, the chairman of the BBC Trust, called the allegations against Savile a "cesspit," and said he wanted to ensure the corporation's policies were "fit for purpose." He denied however there was a "corporate cover-up" over the decision to drop the Newsnight investigation into claims Savile had abused young girls while working on Top of the Pops. The former Conservative cabinet minster confirmed it was to hire an outsider to help the Met, which on Tuesday revealed it was investing four decades of alleged abuse. Patten said he believed it would be a good idea for BBC director general George Entwistle to make a prominent primetime apology on behalf of the BBC once the claims have been unravelled. He said on Wednesday: "The BBC has in place child protection policies, processes, guidance for us by all staff on and off the premises and independents making programmes for the BBC. We've asked the director general to assure us that those policies are up to date and fit for purpose, that they're effective in protecting minors and underage children. We've also said that we want to be satisfied on the arrangements in place for dealing with sexual harassment, bullying and whistleblowing and we want to be sure that those guidelines that do exist are gold standard and up to date and comply with current best practice. His comments came hours after Savile's headstone was removed from a cemetery in Scarborough and taken away out of "respect to public opinion." The £4,000 granite memorial was smashed up to be used as landfill at the request of Savile's family. The grave, in which Savile was buried at an angle so he could "see" Scarborough castle and the sea, will remain unmarked for the foreseeable future. Savile died almost a year ago but his activities have come to light following a number of interviews with alleged victims for a TV documentary. There had been criticism that the BBC ditched an investigation on its Newsnight programme late last year because it would have run counter to other celebratory shows about the once popular presenter. But Lord Patten on Wednesday reiterated that the editor of Newsnight was "not leaned on," and no BBC executives intervened. He also said he was not aware of any allegations against other BBC stars. Earlier this week Entwistle made an apology to Savile's victims during an interview on Radio 4's Today programme and said there would be an inquiry to follow the police investigation. Culture secretary Maria Miller said the BBC had "serious allegations" to answer about the way women had been treated in the workplace. "I think Lord Patten's right to say if, at the end of that criminal investigation, there is a need to do more, then the BBC should be asking those questions," she told BBC2's Newsnight. There are some serious allegations, not only about the behaviour of Jimmy Savile, but also some of the institutional problems around the way that women have been treated in the workplace, and I think they are serious issues for any organisation. Miller said her "heart goes out to all of those that have been affected" by Savile's alleged behaviour and said it was important there was a "thorough and swift investigation."
