Wolverhampton hospital building closes for six months as major roof repairs begin

An outpatients building at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton will be closed to the public for up to six months as major work to repair its roof gets under way.

Preliminary work to secure the Outpatients 1 building at the hospital is under way as it is presently lined with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) which has been found to be susceptible to structural failure when exposed to moisture.
