Three patients and one visitor have sustained minor injuries after part of a ceiling in a hospital emergency department collapsed.
The incident happened on Wednesday night at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald.
Three patients and a relative of a patient were involved.
The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust said all were assessed by medics but none needed treatment.
A trust spokeswoman said: “Regrettably a small section of a suspended ceiling collapsed last night in the ED of the Ulster Hospital, causing minor injuries to three patients and one relative.
