FIREFIGHTERS were called to the Royal Bolton Hospital early this morning after an elderly, confused patient clambered on to the roof.
The 76-year-old woman had climbed out of an upper floor window in her nightdress at 5am and made her way around the roof on to a flat section at D block.
Hospital authorities contacted the police and fire service and a ladder was put up to reach the pensioner who had suffered a minor cut to her leg in the roof climb.
