Hospital trust 'confident' in tackling known risks

We need to ensure our patients are cared for in a safe environment where they do not come to any harm.

Tackling and managing known risks to hospital environments such as Legionella is part of this and I am confident, as are our health partners and the Health and Safety Executive, that we are doing this.

We continue to invest significantly in upgrading and managing our water systems to minimise the risks of any patients contracting Legionnaires Disease in the future.
