Plans to build a new hospital ward for Roseberry Park in Middlesbrough, UK, have been approved after "serious defects" were found in seven-year-old buildings, according to an article on the BBC website.
Roseberry Park opened in 2011 but has had problems with its roof, plumbing and fire safety system. The new 28-bed ward will house "secure mental health patients."
About 50 people had to be moved to another hospital because of problems with the hospital, described as "shoddily built" by Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald.
A representative for the trust said the new ward was necessary to house patients after a series of serious failings were discovered in the existing hospital buildings.
