Is a hospital liable for the safety of a patient it admits into its care?

This is a strange submission for the appellant to make because in the course of his judgment, the learned trial Judge said [p. 60]: “This case has been pleaded and argued as one of the occupier’s liability with both parties viewing the relationship existing between them as one of invitor-invitee . . . “I wish to record that I am less certain than counsel that the liability of a hospital with respect to the safety of the patient who it admits into its care is as limited as the concept embodied in the stated pronouncement in Indermaur v. Dames, supra.”
