An allegation that a former patient at a hospital in Halifax was abused as a 14-year-old by Savile was investigated by Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.

The trust said it found no evidence to connect Savile with what was formerly the Halifax Royal Infirmary in the 1970s or at any other time.

The report said: "We conclude that whilst it is possible that Mr A [the victim] was abused, as alleged, whilst an inpatient at the Royal Infirmary at Halifax in 1976, on balance of probabilities any abuse suffered by Mr A was unlikely to have been at the hands of Savile."

In brief:

- The main focus is on Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire, where he is believed to have assaulted more than 60 people - the youngest of them aged eight

- A report by former barrister and NHS executive Kate Lampard, which looked at how Savile could have abused victims at NHS hospitals across the country, has set out recommendations to ensure it cannot happen again

- Reports into Savile's activities in relation to other hospitals and hospice premises have been published by the relevant hospital trusts

- The Department for Education has also published a string of reports by local authorities into allegations of abuse by Savile at a number of children's homes and schools.

The Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Foundation Trust investigated an allegation involving Jimmy Savile that was made by a former patient at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle who received treatment as a child in August 1998.

A report by the trust said Northumbria Police had attempted to contact the person involved to interview them but had been unable to do so.

As a result the report said there was no evidence to substantiate the allegation.

The Department for Education has also published a string of reports by local authorities into allegations of abuse at a number of children's homes and schools.

In a written statement, Children's minister Edward Timpson said that although the investigations were complete they had been unable to substantiate any of the allegations.

"None of the investigations have been able to reach firm conclusions about whether the alleged abuse took place or not.

"Although many of them say the informant was credible, the lack of corroborating evidence has prevented them from reaching a definitive conclusion," he said.

An investigation into Jimmy Savile's connections with Rochdale children's hospital, Scott House, in Greater Manchester, was set up after it was alleged he had visited the hospital to take children out in his car.

A report by Calderstones NHS Foundation Trust found there was no evidence of a visit by Jimmy Savile to the site the trust now owns.

No allegations of abuse have been made.

One victim, aged 18 at the time, recalled that the DJ climbed into her room through a window to molest her as she was heavily sedated and recovering from burns to her hands in 1973. He also spoke to her about her private life, suggesting he had read her medical records, the report said.

The report also said Savile groped the paraplegic woman after taking her for dinner to thank her for fundraising towards the hospital's National Spinal Injuries Centre in August 1973, forcing himself on her in the back of his car while his driver sat in the front.

Thirty-seven of Savile's victims at Stoke Mandeville, who included hospital patients, visitors and staff, were interviewed for the 348-page report., external They included children as young as eight and adults, including a pregnant mother in her 20s in hospital with her sick son and a 19-year-old paralysed woman in a wheelchair.

Earlier, Hattie Llewelyn-Davies, chairwoman of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust which runs Stoke Mandeville Hospital, made an apology to Savile's victims:

"On behalf on the NHS organisations that existed at the time and those that exist today, I want to say sorry to all of Jimmy Savile's victims. I know how difficult it must have been for you to come forward and tell your stories after such a long time."

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says details of Jimmy Savile's abuse in a series of reports out on Thursday morning "makes you want to retch" and he promised lessons will be learned.

The government will act on "all the recommendations that we can," he says. "We never, ever want to see this sort of vile, vile behaviour by Jimmy Savile and others (again)."

So how was this allowed to happen? Dr Johnstone goes on:

"In 1969, Savile came to Stoke Mandeville hospital as a voluntary porter. He was appointed with no checks, monitoring or supervision. He was given accommodation on the hospital site and had 24-hour, seven day a week access to all parts of the hospital building complex. From an early stage his disruptive behaviour and constant sexual innuendo caused annoyance and distress to the junior staff within the hospital. However, his behaviour was explained away as being part of his eccentric celebrity persona. Savile was feted by senior managers as an important asset to the organisation where he was quickly established as an integral part of hospital life."

A bit more from Dr Androulla Johnstone, the Stoke Mandeville Hospital report's lead investigator, on how Savile became so manipulative:

"Savile was appointed by ministers in the new Thatcher government and the Department of Health and Social Security as lead fundraiser and commissioning and project manager for the rebuilding of the National Spinal Injuries Centre, via an independent charitable fund. The then-Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, sponsored Savile in this role and £500,000 of Department of Health and Social Security funding was made available to the charitable trust. This placed him in a position of authority and power."

BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle looks at why the risks are real in today's NHS and asks: Could abuse happen again?

At Crawley Hospital in West Sussex there were no concerns of abuse or assault involving Jimmy Savile but concern that he had visited the site.

Sussex Community Trust said it found no documentary evidence of a visit or an association between Jimmy Savile and Crawley Hospital.

However, it said anecdotal evidence indicated that he may have visited singer Adam Faith at Crawley in 1973, when the singer was being treated following a serious car crash.

Victims' lawyer Liz Dux says: "There was clearly something seriously amiss at this hospital where three other doctors have been convicted of serious sex offences in the last four decades.

"Savile's victims deserved more accountability from a hospital where they went to be looked after than they have received today ."

The Stoke Mandeville report also documents how people reported Savile's abuse:

Jimmy Savile attended Rampton Hospital and was also involved in two day trips with hospital patients and staff to Scarborough.

A report by the hospital said there were four disclosures of "sexually inappropriate behaviour" by Jimmy Savile in separate incidents, but the people involved said they did not want to pursue the matters further.

The hospital said one was a young child but none were patients.

There was "no evidence of such inappropriate conduct with patients", the report concluded.

Lawyer Liz Dux, who represents 44 of the Stoke Mandeville victims says it "beggars belief" that the report found no evidence of senior staff being aware of the abuse.

Most of Savile's Stoke Mandeville victims were patients, the report found:
