EIGHT people were given medical treatment following a chemical leak at Russells Hall Hospital last night.
West Midlands Fire Service was called to the hospital following the chemical incident in the ground floor laundry.
Alongside fire crews, the Service's hazardous specialist also attended to help contain the clear chemical liquid.
Fire fighters and nurses also treated eight people who were suffering from mild eye irritations as a result of the gas being released from the chemical.
The liquid was left at the hospital for disposal by staff.
