A faulty alarm system is putting a U.K. psychiatric hospital staff at risk, according to a staff member.
The alarm system at Scotland's Carstairs state hospital was installed five years ago, according to an article on the Mirror website.
There have been three assaults this year in which staff calls for help went unanswered, the article said.
"They gave the nursing staff back-up radios and pagers but they are useless as you can’t restrain someone and free a hand to work a radio at the same time,” a source said.
