Turner has been suspended from her job at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff because of the allegations against her.

Hospital bosses said: "The health board suspended the individual once we were made aware of the allegations against them.

"This is a sensitive issue and the health board has been cooperating with partners in South Wales Police.

"We are not able to comment further while court proceedings are ongoing."

Police have also been contacted for comment.
