A test of Dunedin Hospital's emergency power system has been completed successfully.
Mains power was turned off for two and a half hours on Wednesday morning and the hospital ran off an emergency generator, to simulate a power outage.
This limited access to phones, computers and lifts.
Otago District Health Board duty manager Elaine Chisnall says a couple of small problems were encountered relating to IT systems, but they were rectified fairly promptly.
