PATIENTS were transferred at Glasgow's super-hospital due to a sewage leak.

Repairs were carried out at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after a blocked waste pipe caused damage to the ceiling at the entrance of the building.

Two rooms on the second floor were sealed off with patients moved elsewhere.

The main entrance to the hospital was also closed as well as two shops.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said the repairs were completed by yesterday evening and services were running normally.

The building has been plagued by a series of problems related to the plumbing system and water supply in recent months.

Last month cancer patients at the facility were moved to a different hospital after a second outbreak of bacteria was linked to problems with the water.

The Neurosciences building, part of the old hospital, has also been affected bt a  long-running sewage problem, which saw surgeries cancelled and relocated to the private sector.

The Evening Times revealed how raw sewage was seen pouring down walls.
