New Zealand hospital buildings still operating despite safety warnings, according to the Newsie website.
South Auckland health officials were warned 18 years ago that buildings were earthquake-prone.
They were also warned five years ago that a children's hospital was rapidly becoming unsafe. In July 2013 a hospital engineer investigating the Kidz First Children's Hospital, removed a dozen leaking external wall panels. The full reclad of Kidz First is now not due to be done until 2021.
Earthquake risk warnings dating back to 2000 have been documented, when the consulting engineering firm assessed the five-story Galbraith building that houses birth and maternity care. Engineers found the facility not suitable for service as an essential medical facility due to seismic issues making it earthquake prone with associated life safety risk.
