Nearly 3,000 patients a day face corridor care in NHS

Nearly 3,000 patients a day had to be cared for in hospital corridors or makeshift treatment areas in England last month, according to data published for the first time. The figures reveal the scale of the challenge for the NHS, with ministers pledging to eradicate the practice by 2029. Patients like Suzanne, whose 80-year-old mother waited over 24 hours in a corridor, described undignified and distressing experiences.
