A member of staff at a mental health hospital in Gloucester has died after being stabbed at work.
The female victim, who has not been named, was attacked at the inpatient unit of Wotton Lawn Hospital.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "The events... are devastating and our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the staff member."
A man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody, police said.
A spokesman for 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, who was unable to confirm the role of the staff member, described the situation as "tragic".
A meeting of the trust and police about the attack is expected later.
'Difficult time'The victim was attended by fellow clinicians following the attack at 07:30 BST on Wednesday, before being taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, the spokesman said.
"It is with deep sadness that we confirm that our colleague died a short time later. Our thoughts remain with their family and friends at this extremely difficult time."
The 88-bed Wotton Lawn Hospital has four admission wards, a psychiatric intensive care unit, and a low secure unit.
It is one of four sites 2gether runs in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. The trust said it cares for more than 1,300 people a year in its hospitals.
The hospital's last report from the Care Quality Commission, carried out in December, said safety standards were "being met".
