A hospital patient has been left disgusted after repeatedly seeing mice running around in his ward.
Daniel Hendron, 32, who is being treated for a leg infection at Walsall Manor Hospital, has been there for about a week.
Mr Hendron, from Walsall, says the rodents are keeping him awake because they are too noisy, with nursing staff telling him they have been reporting the problem since last month.
Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust said it has increased cleaning in affected areas and wanted to reassure patients, visitors and staff its pest control measures were in place.
The NHS trust has apologised for any distress caused.
A spokesperson sought to reassure patients, visitors and staff that it had "pest control measures in place, alongside rigorous infection prevention and control processes".
"Our teams have dealt with this issue and, in addition, we have increased cleaning in the affected areas as well as checked for any potential access holes," they added.
The spokesperson said the trust was doing all it could to prevent any further incidents.
