Shocking photographs have captured a scene of devastation at Stepping Hill hospital after patients were forced to evacuate when ceilings collapsed.
The photos were taken in March when the hospital saw two ceilings falling through because of heating-system leaks, the Mirror reports. Its Outpatient B Department was closed last November due to a "significant deterioration of the structure of the building", with appointments diverted elsewhere. In May the building was eventually demolished by bulldozers after being deemed structurally unsafe by inspectors.
Lib Dem candidate for the area Tom Morrison is the Lib Dem added: "We've had a Conservative MP and in that time Stepping Hill Hospital has gradually declined, Outpatients B had to close down, the ICU had to close down because the roof was coming in. Has a Conservative MP changed that? Absolutely not."
