Patients and visitors to the hospital are advised not to bring valuables with them where possible.

A spokesman for Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: “The trust does not accept responsibility for any valuables, money or other articles that patients and visitors bring to the hospitals.

“We do advise patients and their families coming in for a planned appointment or procedure wherever possible not to bring valuables with them.

“If they do need to bring valuables during an admission these need to be handed to ward staff, who will place them in the ward safe or cash office.

“This is extended to visitors, who we advise to be vigilant and secure their valuables whilst on site – if they do need to report a loss or theft then they should contact security via a member of staff in the area they are visiting.”
