POLICE are growing increasingly concerned for the safety of a man who is missing from hospital. 

Julian Lane - who is missing from Derby - is known to travel widely and could be anywhere in the country, police said.

Mr Lane, aged 51, failed to return to the hospital, as planned, on Monday (January 9). 

He needs regular medication and officers and medical staff are concerned for his health.

He is 6ft, with a large build and black hair.  When he was last seen he was clean shaven.

The photograph was taken eight years ago but if anyone thinks they have seen him or knows where he is, ring 101 quoting Derbyshire Constabulary’s incident number 1059 of January 9.
