🚨 Major Chaos at Cardiff’s Biggest Hospital! 🚨
Last week was a whirlwind at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff’s largest medical facility. Staff and patients faced an incredible challenge when the hospital’s water supply failed – not once, but TWICE within 48 hours! 😱
Apparently, a “faulty” pump and structural problems led to a complete water cut-off, with staff resorting to bottled water for critical tasks. To make matters worse, sewage leaked into a patient waiting room, raising serious hygiene concerns. 💧🚱
These incidents aren’t isolated. Just a week before, nearly 300 doctors warned the health board about low morale amid the hospital’s deteriorating conditions. The hospital, built in the 1960s, shows signs of wear and tear with recurring leaks, malfunctioning ventilation, and pigeon infestations. 🏥📉
Local politicians are demanding urgent action. Andrew RT Davies highlighted this crisis in the Senedd, emphasising the “shocking” state of the hospital. There’s a growing call for Health Secretary Jeremy Miles to intervene and ensure patient safety and staff morale are prioritised. 🏛️📢
The health board assures that maintenance teams are on the case, but many believe more needs to be done to ensure the hospital’s safe and efficient operation. Let’s hope they address these critical issues swiftly! 🌟
