The new 'super' hospital at Southmead in Bristol is fully operational today. The Brunel building has been a decade in the planning, and cost £430 million.
New "super" hospital defends itself against critics
Bristol's new £430 million hospital at Southmead is now officially open. As well as combining specialist medical services on one site, it also contains the regional trauma centre and adult burns unit.
However, the move, which has been happening over the past month, hasn't got off to the best start with 180 operations being postponed because of a faulty air handling system. There's also continued criticism over the number of parking spaces on site. Our Health Correspondent Katie Rowlett reports.
