Weybridge hospital burns as health centres fail latest fire safety checks

NHS CUTS and privatisation could lead to a Grenfell-style blaze in British hospitals, campaigners warned yesterday after flammable material used in the destroyed tower block was also found at a Glasgow hospital.

Kingspan Kooltherm K15 insulation boards were fitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital super-complex which opened in 2015, health bosses said.
These were of the same make as those used at Grenfell Tower, where a fire left 80 people confirmed dead so far and hundreds homeless.

Brookfield Multiplex, which worked on the Glasgow hospital campus, also built Wembley Stadium.
