Police say they are becoming “increasingly concerned” for a missing woman who is thought to be in Winchester.

Hayley Seymour was last seen at Parklands Hospital in Basingstoke on Saturday, January 29 when she failed to return from a couple of hours unescorted leave.

The 53-year-old is described as white, 5ft, of medium build and with bronze and gold coloured hair.

She was last seen wearing a black patterned skirt, a cream cardigan, a cream top and blue boots and may be pushing a trolley.

Although she went missing from Basingstoke, officers believe she has travelled to the Winchester area and are now appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.

PC Christian Geldard said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Hayley’s safety. We do not believe she has any medication with her, and it is important we find her so we can make sure she is safe and well.

“Unfortunately, this is the best photo we have of Hayley. Although it is hard to see her face, the photo shows the clothes she was last seen in.

“We have been following a number of lines of enquiry to find Hayley since she was reported missing. However, we are now turning to the community for help. If you have any information about where she may be, please call us immediately on 101 quoting 44220039747.”
