An unusable children's hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, still had thousands of problems after a health board accepted it as ready, according to an article on the BBC website.
The Sick Kids facility will not be fully operational until next fall after last-minute safety concerns.
Issues include:
- fire detectors not properly fitted
- damage to doors
- poor standard of decoration
- lack of quality finishes
- problems with power supplies
The documents also showed more than 2 million pounds was diverted from the new hospital's "equipment budget contingency" in order to offset increased construction costs.
