Jimmy Savile abuse claims: Broadmoor role investigated
The Department of Health will investigate its decision to appoint Jimmy Savile as head of a taskforce overseeing Broadmoor hospital in 1988.

Police say they are following more than 300 lines of inquiry, while the BBC has announced two inquiries into the scandal.
