Hospital patients in Jersey given ice lollies in heatwaves

Binet said putting air conditioning units throughout the outgoing hospital was “simply not possible, now or in the future” and concerns reinforced the importance of delivering the new hospital at Overdale.

He said: “There is only so much that can be achieved through temporary measures and adaptations to ageing infrastructure.

“The new Acute Hospital has been designed with the future firmly in mind, including the need to respond to rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events.

“It will incorporate modern ventilation, cooling and environmental control systems from the outset, providing a healthcare environment that is safer, more comfortable and more resilient for patients, visitors and staff.”
