An investigation is taking place after a panel fell from the 10th floor of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

It is understood it shattered near the front entrance on Thursday morning but no-one was injured.

An NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) spokesman said damage was being assessed and repaired.

The £842m QEUH opened in April 2015 and featured in the BBC series Scotland's Superhospital.

An NHSGGC spokesman said: "An external decorative panel this morning fell from the 10th floor of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital building.

"Fortunately no-one was hurt and the area was immediately secured.

"Facilities staff are on site to assess and repair the damage.

"It is not at this time clear why this happened."
