The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn is falling apart. Its building was only supposed to stand for 30 years, but has now stood for more than 40. Parts of its roof are currently being held up by props, including in its maternity unit.

It needs £554m just to maintain its decaying building, or £679m for a new building and in November, the government will pick eight places for new hospitals to be built.

The QEH should be one of them. We're calling on the government to look again at its precarious situation, and to think of local residents and the hospital's incredible staff, who should be able to work in modern facilities.
