A second person has been seen camping in the grounds of a Norfolk hospital in the space of a month.
Three weeks after it was reported a man had spent more than a week camping in the grounds of Hellesdon Hospital, the headquarters of the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, it has emerged a second man has been found sleeping rough at the site.
Like the first, the man is a former patient of the hospital, although he has not received in-patient care for several years.
A staff member, who asked not to be named, said the man had been sleeping in a tent on the site and also using its chapel.
They said there was concern that the man could come to harm camping on the grounds due to building work being carried out on the multi-million pound Rivers Centre project at the site.
An NSFT spokeswoman confirmed the trust was aware of the situation and that it was a separate man to the first occasion.
She added that the man is an existing patient of the community mental health team and that hospital staff had been advised on who in the team to contact about his care.
