Fire safety update
A fire safety update from Charles Siddons, Interim Chief Operating Officer of NHS Property Services:
“I would like to assure all our customers that we are taking swift action to check fire safety in our buildings following the tragedy at Grenfell Tower.
“Safety in our buildings is always our first priority. We have a team of fire safety professionals who work alongside Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, our primary fire authority partner, to make sure our buildings meet safety standards.
"We carry out around 1,300 checks per year and all of our inpatient units have had a fire risk assessment in the last 12 months."
"If customers have any questions about our fire safety work, please contact our customer services team at customer.service@property.nhs.uk or 0800 085 3015."
