The Accident & Emergency department at Worcestershire Royal Hospital remains closed today after a water leak caused significant damage to parts of the hospital.

Patients are reportedly being diverted to other hospitals in the area, including Hereford County Hospital.

An update has just been released by the Worcestershire Acute NHS:

Engineers are currently working to fix a number of plumbing issues at Worcestershire Royal Hospital. If you require non life threatening urgent or emergency care please call or visit 111.NHS.uk instead of visiting A&E at the current time.
