Getty ImagesPlanned operations at an Oban hospital have been cancelled for the rest of the week following flooding in the operating rooms.
NHS Highland said patients have been informed after theatres at Lorn and Islands Hospital experienced “significant” water damage.
The hospital has implemented contingency plans to ensure emergency surgeries can still take place.
A hospital spokesperson said work was underway to resolve the issue but there was no definitive date for completion.
They added: “Planned operations for next week may also need to be cancelled and those patients who may be affected have been informed of the situation.
“We are currently keeping this under review and if a decision has to be taken to cancel further operations then we will inform patients as soon as we can.
“We would like to apologise to everyone affected for the inconvenience and distress that this may have caused.”
