Leighton Hospital's water supply issue has been restored, with visitor guidance returning to normal on Wednesday 20 May.

The issue affected the Middlewich Road site's water for drinking, toilets and hand-washing.

A spokesperson for Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust told Nub News: "The leak affecting the water supply at Leighton Hospital has now been identified and repaired, and our normal water supply has been restored.

"Patient safety remained our priority throughout today and we put a series of measures in place as part of this. We'd like to thank patients and visitors for their understanding and support.

"We fully plan for our services to return to normal, however, if there is any impact, patients will be contacted if their appointment is affected.

"If you do not hear from us, please attend as planned."

Any chance of where the leak was.
Was it on hospital grounds or elsewhere.
