The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) has confirmed that all operating theatres have returned to full service following the resolution of air-conditioning issues that had affected six theatres since January.
In a statement, the hospital said normal operations have now resumed and theatre teams are working to increase the number of procedures while maintaining patient care and safety standards.
Patients affected by the disruption will be contacted directly with updated dates for their procedures as scheduling is finalised. Those who have not yet been reached are being encouraged to make contact with the hospital for assistance.
The QEH expressed thanks to the public for its patience and understanding during the period of disruption and said it remains committed to improving timely access to surgical care. (PR)
