A Sunday Express investigation has found that around 80 items containing potentially sensitive data, including laptops, memory sticks, dictaphones and smartphones, have disappeared since January 2012.

Drugs, medical equipment, prescription pads and cars have also disappeared from hospitals, with more bizarre thefts including a garden fork, dishwasher and Victorian baking oven.

Last week, we told how more than 11,000 patients had gone missing from hospitals in the past five years, including some who were receiving intensive care treatment.
