4:38Now PlayingA crumbling hospital that serves Liz Truss' constituency was forced to close three of its operating theatres on Thursday, after staff members noticed movement in the ceiling.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn currently has its roof held up by more than 1,500 steel and wooden stilts, but was forced to close after patients and staff have described hearing popping, cracking, and creaking in the ceiling.
Opened in 1980 using a material called reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, the temporary solution was not meant to last more than thirty years.
It was not granted funding under the Conservative's £3.7 billion plan to build 40 "new" hospitals by 2030, but is waiting to hear if it will be listed for a further government-funded shortlist.
