BBC NEWS Wales reported on 20th March 2008 that a major Welsh hospital riddled with asbestos will be rebuilt at a cost of up to £300m.
Glan Clwyd Hospital at Bodelwyddan, near Rhyl, will be rebuilt on the same site because officials say it does not meet fire safety standards.
The present hospital was designed in the 1960s, built in the 70s and opened in 1980.
The building has been described as having structural problems which do not meet today's requirements, but is said not to be unsafe to staff, patients or the public.
A senior health official has said previously that there are only risks if the asbestos is disturbed.
