NHS bosses are being forced to look for a new location for patient care after "increased traces" of legionella bacteria were discovered.
The Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) runs a service for people who are fit enough to leave beds at acute hospitals, but need more rehabilitation before being allowed home.
