Wooden prefabricated buildings are being considered as a temporary replacement for the quake prone Hutt Hospital.

An updated seismic assessment of the Heretaunga Block last week revealed it is only the concrete cladding that's quake-prone.

But that doesn't change its dire seismic rating at just 15 percent of new building standard. Ruth Hill reports.
