The new Acute Services Building at Christchurch Hospital. Photo: RNZExperts are checking for mould growth after a flood inside Christchurch's new, and so far unopened, $500 million hospital building. Four levels of walls and ceilings in one of two towers were damaged this month when a faulty valve flooded the Acute Services Hagley building. The wallboards and ceiling tiles have been taken off to dry it out and allow a full inspection. The Ministry Health said it is still considering if this will push back the handover to the district health board, meant to take place in August.
