Jimmy Savile abused 63 people connected to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, but the one formal complaint made was ignored, an independent report has found. It found Savile's reputation as a "sex pest" was an "open secret" among some staff - but allegations probably did not reach managers. Now, some of Jimmy Savile's victims are calling on the government to make it a criminal offence not to report child abuse, an approach known as "mandatory reporting". David Cameron has previously suggested that he is supportive of new legislation. Labour revealed earlier this week that it wants those working in schools, hospitals and childcare to be obliged by law to report suspected child abuse. Mandatory reporting of child abuse is already in force in Northern Ireland, the US and Australia.

The committee wants to see the 成人快手 reduce its services in some areas and for the corporation's governing body, the 成人快手 trust, to be abolished.
