John Radcliffe Hospital: Patients moved over 'unsafe cladding'

[LeftishBrit]

A hospital building will be closed to inpatients for up to 12 months due to fire safety problems in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire in London.

John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford plans to move 52 beds from its trauma unit to other wards following a review of their cladded buildings.

The NHS trust overseeing the site said a "combination of fire safety factors with this building" make it currently unsuitable for inpatients.

They plan to move patients by 4 August

1. My local hospital - I was treated at the trauma unit for a broken ankle a few years ago

2. My hear just thudded at the idea of how bad a fire there could have been.

I imagine there are a lot of buildings from which tenants have to move?
gee..office buildings, too, at least the older ones?
