According to a report by the British Metro newspaper on April 7th, local time, a report at the board meeting showed that Carolyn Shaw, the head of the hospital, revealed at the meeting that the hospital had a serious accident on March 10, and engineers believed that the roof of the intensive care unit was in great danger of collapse.
Shaw said, “In order to ensure the safety of patients and staff, the personnel in the intensive care unit were evacuated.
Patients are transferred to other parts of the hospital to continue treatment, while the building is repaired as necessary.” The original design life of the building was 25 years, according to the data, but it has a history of more than 40 years and has shown “degradation signs”.
