Missing Persons from Hospitals
Episode 8
Friday, 11 July, 2025
In this episode we talk with Robert Cocks from Locate International focusing on people who go missing from hospitals. From vulnerable mental health patients to those undergoing routine treatment, we discuss how individuals in supposed places of safety manage to disappear, and why these cases frequently fall through the cracks of the system. Robert Cocks unpacks the patterns, institutional oversights, and urgent need for reform in how hospital disappearances are tracked and handled. Who is responsible when a patient disappears? And how can these systems be changed to prevent future tragedies? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
