Epsom Hospital has begun an urgent investigation after an operating theatre's window blinds were left open, meaning people could see surgery being carried out on a patient.

Bosses at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the Dorking Road site, apologised to the patient and took "immediate action" to ensure it would not happen again.

On Friday (January 10), a blind in an operating theatre window was not closed properly after cleaning and an operation taking place in the room could be seen by a "small number" of other patients, the hospital said.
