Message timed at 5pm on Thursday, 20 July


On Tuesday this week, we had to temporarily close our X-ray department in St James Wing at St George’s Hospital (Tooting) due to a significant water leak.

This meant we had to cancel all patients attending for routine, walk-in, GP and outpatient x-ray appointments during the last 72 hours.

We are pleased to say that the X-ray department has re-opened this afternoon (Thursday, 20 July), and a full service has now been resumed.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
