The sexual assault allegations relate to an incident involving an older female patient on a side ward.

A spokesperson for Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Wigan Infirmary, said: “WWL can confirm that an allegation has been made against a member of our staff.

“As this is subject to a police investigation, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on this matter at this moment in time.”
