VICTORIA Infirmary Northwich has reopened.

The hospital on Winnington Hill has been shut since Friday due to "technical issues" with the fire alarm.

However, it has now opened back up to patients, as of 8am this morning (April 30).

A spokesperson for Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Victoria Infirmary Northwich will reopen to patients from 8am on Tuesday, April 30.

"All appointments and services will resume, as normal, from that time.

"The Minor Injuries Unit will open at 9am.

"This follows technical issues with the fire alarm that had caused the site's temporary closure."

Patients and staff were evacuated from Victoria Infirmary at around midday on Friday (Apri 26).

Staff could be seen redirecting cars outside the hospital as the alarm rang.

All appointments from Friday afternoon up until the reopening today will be rescheduled automatically.
