A hospital has said it is returning to "business as usual" after a flood which caused disruption to a number of wards on Tuesday.

The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust said a burst water pipe at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford was to blame.

It said work would continue over the coming days to complete the clean-up and replace damaged ceiling tiles.

It asked patients to continue to attend their appointments as planned unless contacted by the hospital.

Ned Hobbs, Chief Operating Officer for at the trust, thanked patients for their understanding and his teams for their work to minimise disruption.
