Auckland Hospital patient still missing

A patient who disappeared from Auckland Hospital six days ago is still missing.

Suzanne Leigh Thomas, 54, left the hospital about 1pm on Tuesday and had not been seen by friends or family since then, police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said.

Police and hospital staff were concerned for her wellbeing as she needed medical attention.

She was described as a blonde Caucasian and was last seen wearing a beige cardigan, black and white shirt and boots.

Anyone who knew where she was or who had seen her in the past two days should contact Auckland police.
