Discovery of potentially unsafe RAAC concrete closes part of Telford hospital
The discovery of potentially unsafe concrete in part of one of the county's major hospitals has closed its kitchen and restaurant.
The material, Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), has been identified in the kitchen area at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH), which manages the hospital, said that the discovery meant it had decided to close both the kitchen and the restaurant at the site.
The trust said that as a result it had put in alternative arrangements to provide meals for patients and staff.
It stressed that meals are still being provided, despite the disruption.
