2015 Belfast maternity hospital opening delayed due to pseudomonas in water systems concerns.

Belfast's new maternity hospital is delayed due to health concerns over its domestic water systems, specifically high levels of the bacteria pseudomonas. Authorities will not open the facility until they can ensure the water poses no risk to infants. Originally expected to open in 2015, the hospital's launch has faced multiple setbacks. Pseudomonas is generally harmless to healthy individuals but can be dangerous for those with weakened immune systems.
