A pipe burst and flood in the Dickson Building of the Victoria General hospital has caused some appointments to be postponed or relocated.
On Saturday night, a fourth floor heating pipe burst sending water spewing down two floors.
The CT Simulator used to plan radiation treatments is out of service as it’s checked for damage.
Capital Health says it’s been in contact with affected patients.
Spokesperson John Gillis tells News 95.7 they hope to have things back to normal tomorrow.
“We’d like to have everybody back in place and all the services running as soon as we can,” he explains. “But I don’t think I can speculate today whether we’d be able to do all that today.”
He says if the problems continue, Capital Health will stay in touch with patients.
