"Water leak at Parkes 1West Nurses Station"

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / PB1W - General Rehabilitation Unit

(as the patient),

Rehabilitation Ward Parkes 1 West. 

There is a constant leak coming through the ceiling at the nurses desk when it rains or outside is wet. This leak is on the right hand side of the desk, closest to the staff room and social workers offices. I understand it renders that whole side of the desk unusable with towels and basins needing to be placed there to catch the water drips. Apparently there is some type of balcony above where the water is leaking in. 

I understand there is also electrical equipment and power points on the side of the desk making it unsafe.
