Shocking photographs have captured a scene of devastation at Stepping Hill hospital after patients were forced to evacuate when ceilings collapsed.
The hospital has suffered leaks, heating failures and crumbling buildings amid years of neglect. Now images have shown the extent of the problem, showing a flooded corridor and an intensive care unit in disarray.
One photo in the hospital, which is in Cheadle constituency and has been held by the Conservatives since 2015, shows a dark corridor covered in sodden sheets that have been laid across the floors to try to soak up the water.
Another is of a critical care unit with water raining through the ceiling panels and brown patches of liquid on the floor. A sheet appears screwed up on the floor, as water drenches screens and wires usually connected to medical equipment.
