The presence of RAAC, a lightweight concrete which is prone to collapse, has been confirmed in Jersey's General Hospital.
Infrastructure Minister, Deputy Tom Binet, told the States yesterday (3 Oct) that investigations had started to find out whether the material is present.
It has now been confirmed as being in three areas of the hospital - the pathology lab, ear nose and throat outpatients’ clinic and a boiler house.
Chris Bown, Interim Chief of Health and Community Services, says there is no risk to patients or staff and he hasn't been told to close any areas of the facility.
"The hospital and emergency department remain open and we request appointments are still kept."
