Trust weather update

September 24, 2019

Following on from this morning’s intense rainfall there has been a number of instances of flooding and associated disruption in the local area affecting roads and multiple public transport services across the region. Rolling updates can be found on the BirminghamLive website.

There is the possibility for delays in patients arriving for appointments, and staff should be aware to plan their journeys accordingly. We are aware currently that Grove Lane (between City and Sandwell Hospitals) is flooded and impassable. A yellow weather warning from the MET Office remains in effect over both Birmingham and Sandwell areas.

Additionally, there are some areas of City Hospital that have minor leaks, currently these are not impacting patient care. Staff are reminded to report any significant leaks to the Estates department.
