The hospital at risk of falling down

Best of Today - Ein Podcast von BBC Radio 4

In Norfolk, one of the county's largest hospitals is literally at risk of falling down. The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn was built with a kind of reinforced concrete - RACK - which has an expiry date. So the roof is being held up by more than three thousand wooden props. Like many areas around England, they are waiting to hear if Kings Lynn will be picked as one of eight sites for a brand new hospital.
