A WOMAN who assaulted a staff nurse at an Irvine mental health facility has been told she is "making good progress".

Susan Hayes appeared for sentencing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court earlier this week after previously pleading guilty to a single charge.

Hayes, 38, of Holmlea Road in Glasgow, admitted assaulting the staff nurse and slapping her on the head at Woodland View on July 17 last year.

Her solicitor, Simon Brown, told the court that Hayes had been of good behaviour since her guilty plea.

Sheriff Colin Bissett ordered Hayes to complete 12 months of supervision by the local authority, adding that he was "satisfied you are making good progress".
