Story summary

On Tuesday morning around 9am, the Wesley Hospital in Auchenflower, Brisbane, was evacuated after reports of a suspected gas leak. At least five fire crews were initially dispatched to the scene, with seven remaining there by about 10:30am. The scientific unit dealing with hazardous materials also responded. However, later that day, UnitingCare Queensland, which operates the hospital, denied that a gas leak caused the evacuation and subsequent delays in surgeries, stating instead that it was due to staff feeling unwell. No injuries were reported, but some surgical procedures were delayed as part of the precautionary measures taken during the incident.
