Hospital kitchen still closed after roach infestation

A KITCHEN at a major Welsh hospital remains closed more than two months after a cockroach infestation was first reported.

- 

The facility at Singleton Hospital was initially shut at the end of June when insects were discovered in the “undercroft” area.

Since then, further reports have suggested cockroaches were also found in the ceiling above the freezer and cold storage areas. It is understood that items have been thrown away as a precaution.

Swansea Bay Health Board has confirmed the kitchen has been temporarily closed while additional treatment work is carried out. No date for the reopening has been given.
