Stuart Martin said: "Wouldn't it be great if it wasn't used at all and all the beds remained empty? That would be a success really.

"Even though they've probably spent millions to get it ready, wouldn't it be nice if in six months time we were talking about what a waste of money it was?"

A similar emergency field hospital built at London's ExCel centre opened on 3 April and other facilities are due to open in Birmingham and Bristol.
