What steps are being taken to verify whether University Hospital Wales and University Hospital Llandough have RAAC in their structures?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 20/09/2023

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has commissioned a study of its estate and the work undertaken to date has identified that a high proportion of buildings either were not constructed during the period of concern or are of a construction method not associated with RAAC panels.

I am advised that site surveys and investigations are ongoing, and a final position will be known in the next few weeks.

In relation to RAAC and the NHS estate more generally, I refer you to the written statement I issued on 13 September https://www.gov.wales/written-statement-reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-raac-across-nhs-wales
