in one school, i have ten rooms and a staff room i cannot use. my second school 16 rooms, the gymnasium and some toilets. and in my third school, 12 rooms. so, you can see it s quite considerable. but it s notjust schools. other public buildings are also affected, like harrow crown court, which could be shut for months. and 2a hospital sites, like hitchin brook hospital in huntington, also have weak concrete. they are spending millions on surveys about what is safe, and what is not, and millions in mitigationjust to keep the building safe and open. and so, this is a really big challenge, and frankly, any building mainly built with raac is past its sell by date, and will need to be replaced, so there is a very big bill for the taxpayer. this is the aerated concrete used in buildings in the 1960s, 70s and 80s that is causing so much concern. we don t really know the scale of the problem. there is no central record. although individual government departments are being requir
