Staff and patients left without running water amid five hour outage at major hospital
Staff and patients at a major Greater Manchester hospital were left without running water for around five hours today.
The temporary water failure impacted some buildings across Salford Royal Hospital. The Manchester Evening News understands the outage lasted at least five hours from this morning, with a fix being found at around 1pm. Salford Royal bosses have now confirmed that water is back up and running across the hospital. Their statement follows concerns from patients that they, and staff, would be unable to wash, clean their hands, or use the toilets.However, Salford Royal leaders say that patients and staff were supplied with bottled water during the five-hour problem, and that plenty of hand sanitiser gel was available.
Jack Sharp, Chief Strategy Officer, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust said: “Staff, patients, and visitors at Salford Royal have been incredibly understanding during a temporary water outage in some of our hospital buildings today. We are very sorry for any disruption this may have caused, and we are glad to say that water supplies have now been restored to the whole hospital site.
“During the interruption to the supply, our teams worked quickly to ensure staff and patients were supplied with bottled water for drinking and hand washing. Patients and visitors were re-directed to toilets that were in full working order.”
