POLICE were today continuing their search for a man on the run from a hospital.

Calderstones Hospital patient Andrew Sutcliffe went missing nearly three weeks ago.

Andrew, 18, slipped out of the back door of his mother's house in Burnage, Manchester while on a home visit accompanied by a female member of staff.

Greater Manchester Police and Lancashire Police are looking for the teenager, who was admitted to the Whalley hospital via the courts and is a resident on the more secure West Drive unit.
