Kent and Canterbury hospital evacuated over bag fears

Patients and staff were evacuated from Kent and Canterbury Hospital after fears were raised about a suspicious bag.

The hospital's health and safety manager ordered the mass clear-out of the outpatients building when the bag - which was inside a two-wheeled shopping trolley - was left unattended.

People filed out into the car park shortly after 2.10pm.
