Euegh!

The Daily post reports that gallons of sewage poured through the ceiling of the chiropody unit at the brand new £19.4 million Ysbyty Alltwen in Tremadog, near Porthmadog, just after lunch on Wednesday.

The hospital was officially opened just 20 days ago after being plagued by delays. It accepted its first patients in April.

North West Wales Hospital Trust spokesman Trystan Pritchard said: “We had a blockage of some sort in a pipe coming from a toilet and asked a contractor to come in and clear it. It wasn’t the main sewage pipe. The contractor tried to flush the blockage. They put too much pressure on the pipe, which caused the leak. It was more of a seepage than an explosion.”

He said no patients had been affected, but the sewage splashed over four members of staff.

Mr Pritchard added: “We’re not talking about tonnes but rather gallons."

One erudite patient, who didn’t want to be named, said: “I think it’s disgusting.”

To which we can only add - er, yes...
