Buildings at three NHS trusts fail fire safety tests 

Buildings at three NHS trusts fail fire safety tests Buildings at three NHS trusts in England have failed fire safety tests in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster, NHS Improvement has said.

All NHS trusts and foundation trusts have been asked to carry out urgent fire safety checks following the inferno which has left 80 people dead or missing presumed dead.

Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust is taking steps to remove cladding from one of its buildings following a negative test result.

NHS Improvement said the building is not used for inpatient accommodation and "measures are being put in place to ensure the safety of the building while the cladding is removed".

Cladding from a building at North Middlesex University Hospitals NHS Trust has also failed the test and is being removed. It does not house any inpatients. The Daily Telegraph
