Hospital 'had to shut operating theatres after ceiling collapsed'

OPERATING theatres at a hospital were closed for more than a month after a ceiling collapsed, an MP has said.

The claims come as Afzal Khan demanded answers over the progress of an 'urgently needed' revamp.

The government pledged to rebuild the crumbling North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) four years ago and the trust which runs it, alongside Manchester council, has drawn up plans for a huge redevelopment but say they are still 'awaiting a decision from central government' on the scheme.

It was one of '40 new hospitals' promised by Boris Johnson in the 2019 Tory manifesto and repeated many times by the then-prime minister following his election victory.

And it is now one of eight 'pathfinder' hospitals being considered for redevelopment through the government's New Hospitals Programme, which aims to transform 40 hospitals by 2030.
