A CITY hospital has installed safety nets to stop glass panels falling from the building.
Pieces of decorative panels have dropped from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital several times since it opened in 2015.
STV said NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde admitted it does not know what is causing the problem but believes all the panels smashed before falling from the £842m hospital.
We reported earlier this month that a glass panel fell ten floors. Nobody was injured in the incident.
A spokeswoman said: ""It has not been possible to establish the cause of the decorative external glass panel shattering on August 9.
"The shattered pieces were not large enough to analyse and determine the cause.
"The safety of our patients, visitors and staff is our paramount priority, which is why we have installed safety netting where these panels are situated on the building."
