The alleged sexual abuser of another patient in the unit for acute Mental Health care was transferred to a hospital in another province in the wake of the facts that investigates the Consortium Hospital Provincial de Castellón, and the court.

hospital Sources have confirmed that the patient was admitted to the Mental Health unit the day on which occurred the alleged assault, was transferred to another center to avoid continuing contact or proximity between the alleged victim and perpetrator.

This transfer occurred as a result of an alleged sexual assault after which the hospital launched the usual protocol in these cases and was willing to collaborate with the court which investigates the alleged facts reported by the relatives of the alleged victim.

The events investigated occurred allegedly on the night of 12 to 13 November, when a patient was admitted to the Treble Unit.

It was another patient that came to the help of the health professional in order to avoid that the assault was over.

This service, according to CCOO, has always had a security guard that has prevented the sick can act in a violent manner and that, in the event of some fact of this kind, can intervene quickly. In addition, it has also had a caretaker that gave support to the two nursing assistants and the nurse that works in this unit of the sanitary center of castellón.
