All patients are safe, according to a hospital trust chief, and work is underway to restore power.
A critical incident has been declared at hospitals in the centre of Bristol, with the public told to stay away and use alternative services if needed. University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust says all patients are safe. The trust runs a number of hospitals, including the eye hospital, the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and Bristol Royal Infirmary - though it isn't clear how many of their facilities have been affected.
'All patients, visitors and colleagues are safe. 'We ask the public not to attend our Bristol city centre hospitals until the incident is resolved and use alternative services in the area.' The trust says a number of hospitals continue to be affected, with the adult emergency department closed to new patients but the children's emergency department still open.
