Shocking footage shows a mouse scurrying under a patient's bed in Walsall Manor Hospital, as complaints of a rodent infestation persist. Patients, including Daniel Hendron, say mice screech at night, with some nurses too frightened to enter the ward, despite reports of the issue dating back to November 2024. Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust apologised for the distress caused, stating: "Pest control measures are in place, alongside rigorous infection prevention and control processes. Our teams have addressed the issue, increased cleaning, and checked for potential access points."
