Originally the city’s teaching hospital, it dates back to the 1700s. The Trust now administers seven hospitals in Leeds and the surrounding area. It is one of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe, with an annual turnover of £1 billion. It employs over 15,000 staff and each year treats almost 1.5 million patients in its wards and departments. Many departments are regional or supra-regional centres of clinical excellence, and many also excel in teaching, research and clinical innovation. James Wilson Savile was born in Leeds in 1926. He died in Leeds aged 84 in 2011. During his lifetime he was a radio disc jockey, television presenter, media personality and charity fundraiser. For over 50 years he had a close association with the Infirmary and its associated hospitals. Over the years, the nature of this association evolved through his roles as a volunteer, celebrity advisor to the hospital radio service, volunteer porter and significant fundraiser. He was awarded an OBE in 1972, an Honorary Doctorate in Law from Leeds University in 1986, a Knighthood in 1990 and a Papal Knighthood in the same year. Initially highlighted in an ITV Exposure documentary first shown in October 2012, and then through subsequent investigations including Operation Yewtree led by the Metropolitan Police, it is now known that Savile was also a prolific sexual predator, paedophile and rapist. He operated across the country through his work at the BBC, and in a number of NHS hospitals, including the Infirmary in Leeds. Following the broadcast of the ITV documentary, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust received a number of calls from former patients, staff and others. These callers reported accounts of verbal, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of Savile. The incidents took place throughout his association with the hospital, with greater frequency during the 1960s and 1970s. Over subsequent weeks, many more victims alleging abuse by Savile, including at the Infirmary, came forward to inform the police and health authorities. The Trust’s immediate response was to conduct an urgent internal review of key areas of risk pertinent to Savile’s alleged offences. Its Internal Audit department assessed a range of relevant current policies and practices and recommended a series of actions to address deficiencies. In October 2012, Kate Lampard was invited by the Secretary of State for Health to oversee independent investigations in the NHS organisations with which Savile was closely associated. These are: Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust; Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs Stoke Mandeville Hospital; and West London Mental Health NHS Trust, which runs Broadmoor Hospital. The Department of Health is also conducting a joint investigation with West London Mental Health NHS Trust as part of this process. In December 2012, the Board of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned an external team to investigate matters relating to Jimmy Savile and the Trust (and its predecessor bodies). Led by Dr Susan Proctor, the investigation team started its work in January 2013 and has continued over the last 18 months to fulfil the terms of reference of the investigation. 2 Executive summary The terms of reference for the investigation are as follows: 1 Thoroughly examine and account for Jimmy Savile’s association with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) and its predecessor bodies, including approval for any roles and the decision-making process relating to these. 2 Identify a chronology of his involvement with LTHT and its predecessor bodies. 3 Consider whether Jimmy Savile was at any time accorded special access or other privileges, and/or was not subject to usual or appropriate supervision and oversight. 4 Consider the extent to which any such special access and/or privileges and/or lack of supervision and oversight resulted from Jimmy Savile’s celebrity or fundraising role within the organisation. 5 Review relevant policies, procedures and practices throughout the time of Jimmy Savile’s association with LTHT and its predecessor bodies and compliance with these. 6 Review past and current complaints and incidents concerning Jimmy Savile’s behaviour at any of the hospitals owned or managed by LTHT and its predecessor bodies, including: • where the incident(s) occurred; • who was involved; • what occurred; and • whether these incidents were reported at the time and whether they were investigated and appropriate action taken. The investigation does not have the power to impose disciplinary sanctions or make findings as to criminal or civil liability. Where evidence is obtained of conduct that indicates the potential commission of criminal offences, the police will be informed. Where such evidence indicates the potential commission of disciplinary offences, the relevant employers will be informed. 7 Where complaints or incidents were not previously reported or investigated, or where no appropriate action was taken, consider the reasons for this, including the part played, if any, by Jimmy Savile’s celebrity or fundraising role within the organisation. 8 Review Jimmy Savile’s fundraising activities and any issues that arose in relation to the governance, accountability for and use of funds raised by him or on his initiative/with his involvement. 9 Review LTHT’s current policies and practice relating to the matters mentioned above, including employment checks, safeguarding, access to patients (including that afforded to volunteers and

    Date: 19th November 2020 Your Ref: Our Ref: Chief Medical Officer Trust Headquarters St James’s University Hospital Beckett Street Leeds LS9 7TF Direct Line: Email: PA: www.leedsth.nhs.uk Mr Kevin McLoughlin Senior Coroner West Yorkshire (Eastern) Coroner’s Office and Court 71 Northgate Wakefield WF1 3BS Dear Mr McLoughlin INQUEST TOUCHING THE DEATH OF MACLOUD NYERUKE (Deceased) I refer to your correspondence of 18th September 2020, regarding the inquest touching the death of Mr Macloud Nyeruke and the Regulation 28 Report to Prevent Future Deaths in respect of this case. I can confirm that the contents of your Regulation 28 Report have been shared with the relevant staff to enable us to provide you with a comprehensive response. In your report you highlight that your matters of concern were as follows: (1) Mr Nyeruke’s medical conditions were not made known to the Trust. In consequence, he had worked on wards where patients had infections involving multi-resistant organisms. Given his compromised immune state, this situation involved risk to both patients and Mr Nyeruke himself. In the absence of information concerning a particular staff member’s medical condition there is a risk of transmission of infections either to or from the staff member. (2) There is scant evidence as to whether Mr Nyeruke underwent appropriate training in respect of PPE such as masks before being permitted to work on a ward involving infectious diseases. The difficulties involved (where a support worker supplied by a nursing agency is only in the hospital for a brief period) are acknowledged.
