Savile's historic abuse detailed

A report's found the Jimmy Savile abused 63 people connected to a hospital he raised money for.

The report's been issued after an investigation by Britain's National Health Service.

It says nine complaints about the late television star's behaviour at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital were ignored over the years.

But it concludes senior managers didn't know about the allegations.

A second report also released today says Savile may have abused people at a total of 41 state-run hospitals in a history of abuse spanning decades.

A lawyer representing 44 of the victims, Liz Dux, says it's beyond belief the report found no evidence of senior managers knowing about the abuse.
