NHS bosses have been criticised after they spent £250,000 on a clock – which staff claim is impossible to read.

The complicated light sculpture clock hangs inside the new £430 million Southmead Hospital in Bristol, which opened this month.

The binary clock shows the time through an unusual display of illuminated rings and bars, which represent specific hours and minutes.

But staff at the new super hospital have criticised the trust for splashing out on the clock when finances are "tight".

One staff member, who did not want to be named said: "I know from the inside how tight finances are and the cuts that we continue to make.

The cost should be taken out of their pay.
