**Evidence gathered:** 1. **The claim itself (June 3, 2025):** Dr Danny Chambers stated in Parliament that the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester "has rainwater leaking into clinical areas." 2. **Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust response:** Directly responding to this specific speech, a Trust spokesperson told the Hampshire Chronicle: "Following repair and maintenance work, there are no leaks affecting clinical areas at Royal Hampshire County Hospital. Essential works, including roof repairs, are prioritised and we undertake regular building assessments to ensure any issues are identified and fixed as soon as possible. Many parts of the main building at Winchester date from the Victorian era which means they need particular care." 3. **Earlier statement by Chambers (April 23, 2025):** In a separate parliamentary debate, Chambers had said: "We also have leaking roofs over treatment areas." This suggests leaks over treatment/clinical areas had been a problem at some earlier point. 4. **June 12, 2025 speech:** In a subsequent parliamentary appearance nine days later, Chambers raised multiple building condition concerns (unsafe ceilings, operating theatre closures, etc.) but notably did **not** repeat the claim about rainwater leaking into clinical areas. 5. **Historical context:** A roofing contractor (Volsen) documented past water ingress at the hospital that had caused closure of "catering and medical wards," and an older Daily Echo article reported a leaky kitchen roof. Storm Bert (November 2024) dislodged roof tiles, affecting external areas. These confirm the hospital has a long history of roof problems. **Assessment:** The Trust — the entity directly responsible for the building — issued a specific, present-tense rebuttal to this exact claim, stating that following repairs there are no leaks affecting clinical areas. While Chambers had raised leaking roofs over "treatment areas" in April 2025 (suggesting a real prior problem), the Trust's statement indicates repairs had since been carried out. The fact that Chambers himself did not repeat the specific rainwater-in-clinical-areas claim in his June 12 speech — while continuing to raise other building condition issues — is consistent with the Trust's position that this particular issue had been addressed. There is no independent evidence contradicting the Trust's statement or confirming active leaks into clinical areas at the time of the speech.
