Senior doctor says new Royal Liverpool Hospital 'harming patients and city'

A senior doctor working at the new Royal Liverpool Hospital has claimed issues with the new building are "harming patients and the city."

The new Royal finally opened in October after years of delays and problems. It had originally been planned that the new facility would start to welcome patients in 2017 but issues - including the collapse of main contractor Carillion - pushed this back by five years.

The move to the new hospital has coincided with what many believe is the biggest ever crisis in NHS emergency care, with shocking images coming out of hospitals around the country - including the new Royal - showing patients lining corridors and ambulances queuing up.
