Work will soon begin to remove flammable cladding from the Royal Newcastle Centre at John Hunter Hospital.
The material, similar to what fuelled London’s Grenfell Tower fire was found during a state-wide audit carried out by the state government’s Cladding Taskforce and Health Infrastructure.
Work to strip the cladding, which was also found in the Clinical Skills Training Centre, is expected to cost $10- million.
It will get underway in the coming months.
A Health Infrastructure spokesperson says interim safety measures have been put in place until the job is finished.
