A librarian was allegedly forced to help cover a shift at a high-security Lanarkshire hospital amid a staffing crisis.
Dieticians, occupational therapists and psychologists have also been brought into The State Hospital in Carstairs Junction, according to whistleblowers. It's claimed hospital chiefs are desperate for volunteers to help on patient escorts outside the facility or provide back-up when other workers are not available, the Daily Record reports.
An alleged recruitment shortage has caused the staffing crisis which whistleblowers fear puts employees and patients at risk and is 'an accident waiting to happen'.
