A window pane smashed to the ground from one of Glasgow top hospitals yesterday - for the third time in a few months.

The glass crashed at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital near the entrance to the discharge lounge, the Daily Record reports.

It is the third window pane to fall from the £840 million hospital in the last three months.

The first incident happened in May and a similar accident happened in June.

No one was hurt in the incident and health bosses insist the pane smashed in an area inaccessible to the public.

A spokeswoman for Greater Glasgow and Clyde told the newspaper: “A glass pane dislodged at the QEUH this afternoon and fell on to an area inaccessible to the public. No one was harmed in the incident.

“Health and safety experts are on site to ensure that the area affected remains safe for patients, staff and the public.

“We take this issue seriously and are working closely with both the main contractor, Multiplex, and with an independent glazing expert to assess the damage and potential causes.”
