Three hospitals in England have failed fire safety checks ordered in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Buildings at London’s King’s College Hospital, Sheffield’s children’s hospital and the North Middlesex Trust have been found to have combustible cladding.

Checks on cladding used at five sites have yet to be finished.
The tests were ordered in the wake of the fire at the west London tower block, which killed at least 80 people last month.
