He said: “All patients were contacted directly as quickly as possible, have been rescheduled and offered new dates.”
The hospital has replaced the damaged chilled water unit and urgent and planned procedures operations were continuing as normal, West said.
The heat damaged three of the hospital’s seven operating theatres when air-handling units on top of some of theatres failed, forcing it to close them for essential maintenance work.
West added he was confident the hospital had ensured patient safety and minimised disruption “while recovering services quickly and safely”.
