Man Banned From Hospital for Three Years
16 Jul
Summary
- Man banned from hospital for three years due to abuse.
- He threatened to set the hospital on fire.
- Breaching the order leads to arrest and court action.
Andrew Stonier, 31, has been prohibited from entering Royal Oldham Hospital until June 28, 2029, following serious abuse and threats directed at hospital staff. The local council secured a criminal behaviour order against Stonier due to his persistent anti-social conduct.
Stonier repeatedly threatened nurses and hospital personnel, notably including threats to set the building ablaze. This behaviour consumed considerable staff time and hospital resources. The court order dictates Stonier cannot enter the hospital, including clinical areas, unless for a pre-arranged appointment, and must leave 30 minutes before and after such appointments. An exception exists for genuine emergency medical treatment.
Oldham Council emphasized that such behavior towards dedicated NHS staff is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. They affirmed that action will be taken against anyone causing harm, fear, or disruption. Breaching the criminal behaviour order can lead to further criminal action and potential return to court.
