Out-of-Service Lifts at Bedford Hospital Cause CancellationsOut-of-Service Lifts at Bedford Hospital Cause Cancellations Bedford Hospital has been forced to cancel planned operations and outpatient appointments due to the failure of multiple lifts. According to the BBC, several lifts at the hospital have been out of service since last week, leaving staff and patients stranded. This has led to delays and cancellations, as patients are unable to reach their appointments or staff are unable to access their work areas. The hospital has apologized for the inconvenience and said that it is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. However, it is unclear when the lifts will be fully operational again. The situation has raised concerns about the reliability of the hospital’s infrastructure and the impact it is having on patient care. It is unclear how many appointments have been canceled or how many patients have been affected. The hospital is urging patients to contact the hospital before their appointments to check if they have been affected by the lift outages. Patients are also being advised to allow extra time for their appointments, as they may need to use stairs or request assistance from staff to navigate the hospital. The BBC has reported that the hospital is investigating the cause of the lift failures and has brought in additional maintenance staff to help resolve the issue.
