A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The driver is under investigation for a number of offences including theft of vehicle, dangerous driving and failing to stop, plus a multitude of document offences.

"The officer in pursuit is a highly trained person and assesses risk at all times of a pursuit. Some people may think that the pursuit should have been stopped when it entered the hospital grounds. The risk was assessed, there were no pedestrians or vehicles around and so the officer decided at that time it was safe to continue."
