Ten nurses have been suspended from a hospital as part of a police probe into alleged record-keeping anomalies. The members of staff were suspended from Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend,


Wales. Three nurses were arrested and bailed and a further seven were suspended on suspicion of falsifying records, the hospital said in statement. All 10 nurses have been suspended, a


spokeswoman for the hospital confirmed. The statement said: “Early in 2013 internal systems within the Princess of Wales Hospital picked up alleged anomalies regarding the record-keeping of


a small number of nurses. “The Health Board notified the police, and a criminal investigation (still ongoing) was then launched. As a result, three nurses were arrested and bailed and a


further seven were suspended on suspicion of falsifying records.” The statement added: “The investigation is ongoing and it would be inappropriate to comment any further at this stage.”


South Wales Police declined to comment.
